screen, where you can alter the way Fallout 2

the main menu.

item or weapon. Right-clicking this large button
will switch weapon modes.
Besides the graphic of the current active item
or weapon, additional important information is also
displayed on this button.
The Action Point (AP) cost to use this item or
weapon in combat is displayed in the lower left-
hand corner. In combat, if you do not have more AP
than this number, you may not use this item or
weapon until you gain additional AP.
The mode, or how this item will be used, is
displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the
button. You can sometimes right-click to change
this mode.
