About MERLIN LEGEND Reporter

Issue 1 January 1997 1-5

The Workplace

MERLIN LEGEND Reporter works with all basic elements in Windows — icons, menus,

and dialog boxes. Setup automatically creates the main menu and icons for various

tasks.

Menus and Dialog Boxes

The main menu displays the titles of pull-down menus. All operations are initiated here,

through a system of sub-menus like the one shown below.

An ellipsis (...) next to an

option leads to a dialog box

— for example:

A triangle (

)

leads to a

“cascading” sub-menu.

Dimmed options are not

accessible to you.

Dialog boxes are used to provide instructions to complete a task. To do so, you provide

all requested information in the list boxes , text boxes , or check boxes and

then use a command button to carry out the operation.
