The HP Browse Screen
When you run HP Browse, it displays the first part of your file on the screen. The first three lines at the
top of the screen display status information, messages, and relevant information about the file you are
working on. The function keys are displayed at the bottom of the screen. You can execute all HP Browse
functions using the function keys. You can also execute many HP Browse functions using other keys as
