mation while this display is active.

Scrolling Lists
When multiple items are available for selection, scrolling lists are used
(
). On most menus, touching the up and down triangle buttons
scrolls the list up or down one item. When the top or bottom of the list is
reached, that button goes gray. Touching the green area above or below
the white handle scrolls the list up or down one group of items. You can
also drag the white handle to quickly scroll through the entire list on
some menus
Some menus have two scrolling lists, used to associate an item in one list
to an item in the other list (
). Typically you choose an item on
the left list, and the system automatically selects the item currently asso-
ciated with it on the right list. You can then choose a different item from
right list to change the association. Some of these menus have a
Lock
button for the right list. This prevents that list from scrolling to the cur-
rently associated item when an item on the left pane is selected. This does
not prevent the selection of the associated item, but just keeps the list
from scrolling. This allows you to quickly make multiple associations for
items arranged near each other on the lists.
