commands are displayed in your currently selected system font. If, for
example, you have chosen System 8 as your current system font, you will
see only four commands per page.
Searching For a command in the command catalog
The majority of commands can be selected from the command catalog by
searching on the first character of the command’s name.
1. Press the keys for the first character—or first few characters—of the
command’s name.
For example, to find tire HALFTAN command, type (SM) H or
(EES (M) HA.
The first command with a name starting with the letter or letters you
typed will be highlighted.
2. If the conunand you want is not highlighted, press @ imtil the
command is highlighted.
Note that the first character of a command’s name may be:
• an upper-case character (for example, SIN)
• a lower-case character (for example, rref), or
® a symbol (for example —>TAG).
The type of the first character determines the best way to search for the
command.
Upper case: if the command you want to find begins with an upper-case
letter, you must press
(ALPHA)
before pressing the key for that letter. If you
intend to search by typing the first few characters of the command name,
you will need either to:
• hold the (MA) key down while you key all the characters, or
® lock the alpha keyboard before you type the characters.
Lower case: if the command you want to find begins with a lower-case
letter, you must press
(ALPHA)©
before pressing the key for that letter. For
example, pressing (MlA)© R displays the rpm conunand.
Non-alphabetic characters: if the command you want to find begins with a
non-alphabetic character, press the keys for that character. For example,
to search for ^TAG, type 00. The first command with a name that
starts with ^ is displayed. (In this example, you need to press ® until
^TAG is highlighted.)
