Typographical Conventions
Listed below are the typographical conventions used in this guide.Names of keys on the keyboard are enclosed in angle brackets; for example <Enter> represents theEnter (or Return) key.Two key names enclosed in angle brackets and separated by a slash (for example, <Ctrl/Z>) indicatethat the first key should be held down while the second is pressed; both keys can then be releasedtogether.Where two or more keys are each enclosed in separate angle brackets (for example,<Home><Home><Up arrow>) each key in the sequence should be pressed in turn.Characters typed in by the user are in lower-case non-bold characters in typewriter font.Other options and button names are shown in lower-case non-bold characters in typewriter font.Pull-down menu options are indicated by the name of the option enclosed in square brackets, forexample
