Getting Started with LAN Manager Enhanced

Using the LAN Manager Screen

To perform tasks using the LAN Manager screen, you select a menu, which

displays a list of commands. When you choose a command, a dialog box

appears. In the dialog box you type information necessary to perform a task.

Using CTRL+BREAK to Break Out of Network Requests

You can stop network requests that were initiated at the MS-DOS command

line or in the LAN Manager screen with the CTRL+BREAK key

combination.

If you are using the Windows operating system version 3.1, and an

uncompleted network request that was initiated from an MS-DOS window

appears to have halted your computer, press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reach the

MS-DOS window, and then press CTRL+BREAK to stop the network

request.

Do not use CTRL+BREAK to stop network requests that were issued

through a Microsoft Windows program such as File Manager.

Using Menus and Menu Commands

LAN Manager operations begin with the menus that appear in the bar across

the top of the LAN Manager screen. When you select a menu, a list of

commands appears. Commands lead to dialog boxes where you supply

additional information. Every command name contains a highlighted letter

that you can use to choose that command from the keyboard (press the

corresponding letter to choose the command). When a menu command is

unavailable, no letter is highlighted.

You can select a menu with a mouse, positioning the pointer on the menu

name and clicking the left mouse button. The menu appears, and you can

choose a menu command the same way.

NOTE: The LAN Manager screen does not recognize a left-handed mouse.
