1.4 Conventions
The following conventions are used throughout this manual for the presentation of material:
• The words in proper names of screen elements (for example, the title in the title bar of a
window, the label for a field of a dialog box) are initially capitalized.
• The names of keyboard keys are boldfaced.
– Initial capital letters are used for the name of a keyboard key if it is labeled on the
keyboard. For example, the Return key or <Return>.
– Lowercase letters are used for the name of a keyboard key that is not labeled on the
keyboard. For example, the space bar, comma key, and so on.
– In descriptions, the word “key” is used in conjunction with its name. For example,
pressing the Return key initiates the process.
– In tables and procedures, angle brackets replace the word “key.” For example, press
<Return>.
– A dash is used to indicate that you must simultaneously press several keys. For exam-
ple, <CTRL-C> indicates that you must hold down the CTRL key while pressing
the C key.
– The phrase “press and release” is used to indicate that you sequentially press several
keys. For example, to count the hits in a Template Builder, press and release <ESC
>,
and then <C>. This indicates that you press and release the ESC key, and
then you press and release the C key.
• The names of push and toggle buttons are boldfaced.
– Initial capital letters are used for the name of a push or toggle button labeled on the
display. For example, the OK button.
– In descriptions, tables and procedures, the word “button” is used in conjunction with
its name. For example, pressing the OK button initiates the process.
• The names of menus and menu items are boldfaced.
– Initial capital letters are used for the name of menus listed in the menu bar. For exam-
ple, the File menu.
– Initial capital letters are used for the name of menu items. For example, to open a new
window, choose New from the File menu.
• System prompts/messages are shown in the Courier font, and user responses/input are in
the boldfaced Courier font. For example, if you enter a value out of range, the following
message is displayed:
Entered value is not valid. The value must be 0-30.
In a tutorial, you may be told to enter the string TIC132 in a field. The string is shown as
follows in the procedure:
TIC132
