the Style button). The specific functions include the following:

window. This might be shown as a button instead of a menu box if there is only one
selectable item.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you accustomed to using your AS/400 in a
green screen
environment, the
following questions explain how to perform a green screen task in the gateway
environment.
1. Where are my function keys?
Those familiar functions keys found at the bottom of a typical AS/400 display
are available through the
Functions
box near the top of the window.
Function keys are accessible in two different ways. As controlled by the Style
button, the 5250 function keys are represented by buttons either at the bottom
of the screen or under the functions box. If they are shown at the bottom, then
the
Functions
box is not present.
Instead of pressing a function key, perform the following steps:
a. Click the
Functions
box near the top of the window.
b. Select the function you want.
c. Click Enter.
2. How do I use my mouse to make a selection?
Use your mouse to move the cursor to the area in which you want to work and
then click the left mouse button to make your selections.
3. How do I use my keyboard to make a selection?
v To select a push button using your keyboard, use the Tab key to move the
cursor to the first push button in a group of push buttons. Next, use the arrow
keys to put the cursor focus on the desired push button. Once the cursor
focus is on the push button you want to select, press Enter. This is the same
as clicking on the push button with your mouse.
v To select a menu box item using your keyboard, use the Tab key to move to
the menu box in which you want to work. Next, use the arrow keys to select
your choice. When the desired choice appears in the menu box, press Enter.
Note: If you select multiple menu box items, the results are unpredictable.
Normally, only the last (farthest to the right) selection is used. Thus, if
you select PA1 from the
General
menu and then F4 from the
Functions
menu, then F4 is more likely to be done over PA1.
4. Why can’t I type into an input field?
