quickly release the key. If you need to hold down the key for a period of time 

to activate a secondary function, the instructions tell you to do so. The location 

of the highlight is controlled by the

given location allows you to make a selection, begin data entry, or scroll 

through a list. 

•  Field

—the location on a page where data or an option can be entered and 

displayed. Highlight a  field using the 

ROCKER

 to begin entering data or 

selecting options.

• 

Soft keys

shortcuts to select the most commonly used options for the selected page, 

window, or tab. To select a soft key, press the 

 key directly below it.
