Text Conventions in This Guide
The examples below identify and explain specially
formatted text that is used throughout this guide.
• The names of your keyboard keys, A1500
control panel buttons, and certain software
instructions appear in a bold type. For example,
Home, End, Tab, Start, Setup, or Cancel.
• Some keys must be pressed at the same time to
perform a task. We show this with the key names
and the plus (+) symbol; for example, Ctrl+Home.
• When we discuss hard drives and diskette drives,
we use capital letters to identify the drives; for
example, drive A.
• Software is stored in directories on the hard
drive. These directories are called folders. We
also show them in capital letters, for example,
MY FOLDER.
• Sometimes, you will need to type information
and press the Enter key. You will be told to
“enter” this information.
• Sometimes, you will need to type information
without pressing the Enter key. You will be
asked to "type" this information.
• Sometimes you will enter a command into a text
box. This is similar to older operating systems.
We show these commands in lower case and
bold type; for example, install or a:\install.
