Conventions 1-5
Introduction
graphical interface in use. For the sake of consistency, the following conventions
will be followed throughout this and other SPMA guides.
Screen Displays
SPMA runs under a variety of different operating systems and graphical user
interfaces. To maintain a consistent presentation, screen displays in this and other
SPMA guides show an OSF/Motif environment. If you’re used to a different GUI,
don’t worry; the differences are minor. Buttons, boxes, borders, and menus
displayed on your screen may look a bit different from what you see in the guide,
but they’re organized and labelled the same, located in the same places, and
perform the same functions in all screen environments.
Some windows within SPMA applications can be re-sized; those windows will
display the standard window resizing handles employed by your windowing
system. Re-sizing a window doesn’t re-size the information in the window; it just
changes the amount of information that can be displayed (see Figure 1-1). When
you shrink a window, scroll bars will appear as necessary so that you can scroll to
view all the information that is available.
