NOTES

You can also use the Help system to identify the uses of each of the Function keys. There are more function keys programmed into RADAR than are included in the above chart.

 

Toolbar Buttons Defined

Radar contains information about the function of each of the buttons that appears on the Toolbar that appears just below the menu. In addition, the Help system also identifies the purpose of each button.

To identify the function of the Toolbar Buttons:

1.

Move the mouse pointer over the button of which you wish to identify the function.

2.

Press the mouse button. In the lower left corner of the screen, a definition appears.

3.

If you wish to make the definition disappear,

without releasing the mouse button, slide the mouse pointer off the toolbar.

4.

If you wish to activate the button functions, release the mouse button

without sliding the mouse pointer off the toolbar. The toolbar button will be activated.

You can also use the Help system to read definitions of the Toolbar buttons. The Help system is context sensitive and in all situations, can be accessed by pressing F1.
