Selection Lists
Sometimes Results displays a list of items that you can choose from. These lists look like vertical menus, but are different. With vertical menus you choose a single item; with selection lists you can choose one or more items. Figure 2–4 shows an example of a selection list.
Figure 2–4: Example of a Selection List
NOTE: Function key messages on your display might be different from what you see in the examples, depending on what kind of machine you use to run Results. For example, if you have a VT100 terminal, your screen messages will tell you to press PF4 instead of F4.You can use one of two techniques to choose an option or item from a selection list:
- If the list is long, press Ø or ¦ to move up or down one screen of information at a time. When you have made your selections, press GO or RETURN.
- Type the first few letters of the option you want to select. The highlight moves to the first option or item that corresponds to the combination of characters you type. Press RETURN to select the option or item.
In lists where you can select only one item, the selection window closes after you press RETURN. In lists where you can select more than one item, an asterisk (*) appears next to each selected item. In lists where the selection order is significant, a number appears next to each selected item.
To deselect an item, highlight it and press RETURN again. The asterisk or number disappears, indicating that you deselected it. When you have made your selections, press GO to enter them and exit the selection window.
