1.18 General Functions.
Some useful general functions are available wherever you are in KeySoft. These functions may be
accessed from the Options Menu, or often more conveniently via a Quick Command sequence.
The general functions allow you to control the configuration of Time, Date, Braille settings and so
on. You could be using the Word processor, or using the Calculator, or reading a menu when you
request one of these functions. After display of the requested function you are returned to the place
from where you initiated the request.
The Quick Commands typically use the SPACE, BACKSPACE or ENTER key in combination
with another letter. For example, ENTER with T displays the current time.
Not all items on the Options Menu have an associated Quick Command key combination.
The Options Menu can be accessed from anywhere in KeySoft by pressing SPACE with O. You use
the Options Menu in the same way as the Main Menu. For example, you can review the menu list
by pressing the SPACE and BACKSPACE keys on the keyboard.
The Options Menu contains the following items. Where applicable, the equivalent Quick Command
is also given.
