About This Guide
Manual set
xxii Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide
With the exception of parameters designated N/A (not applicable), you can edit
all parameters in any menu. N/A means the parameter is dependent on another
parameter that is set to a value that is causing this parameter to not be used. (See
the Reference Guide for dependency information.)
Changing parameter values
When a parameter has preset choices, press Enter to cycle through the choices.
To select the current value, use the arrow key or Ctrl-N to move to the next field.
To edit a text-based parameter, move the cursor to the parameter and press Enter.
An edit field opens, delimited by brackets, such as these [ ]. A blinking text
cursor appears in the brackets, indicating that you can start typing text. If the field
already contains text, it is cleared when you type a character. To modify only a
few characters of existing text, use the arrow keys to position the cursor, then
delete or overtype the characters. To close the edit field and accept the entry,
press Enter.
Saving or discarding your changes
To save your changes and exit the menus, press the Esc key. If you have changed
any parameter, the Exit menu appears, and provides choices to accept your
changes and exit, or discard your changes and exit.
