These are selection keys that perform the same
Local Management function. For example, “Press
ENTER” means that you can press either ENTER
or RETURN, unless this manual specifically
instructs you otherwise.

This key allows an escape from a Local
Management screen without saving changes. For
example, “Press ESC twice” means the ESC key
must be pressed quickly two times.

BACKSPACE Key
These keys cycle through selections in some Local
Management fields. Use the SPACE bar to cycle
forward through selections and use BACKSPACE

DOWN-ARROW, LEFT-ARROW, and
RIGHT-ARROW keys to move the screen cursor.
For example, “Use the arrow keys” means to press
whichever arrow key moves the cursor to the
desired field on the Local Management screen.
