Using the function keys

Use

To move from screen to screen or from page to page within a screen, you must use the function keys. Function keys are displayed at the bottom of each screen and may vary depending on the screen.

Most keys have the same function through out the MAPC compiler; <F1> is help, <F4> returns to the previous function screen, etc. Some keys keys have different functions in the Layout screen. For example, <F10> resets all fields selected for edit. The following is a list of the main keys and their function within the Layout screen. In addition, alternate keys are used to tailor the layout of the screen and consequently, are displayed only on the Layout screen. To toggle between the main keys and the alternate keys, press <PF11> (AltKeys).
