The Panel Pull-Down

All panels that you access from pull-downs contain a keyword called Panel in their action bars. Use this option to control how DataManager displays these panels.

Each time you select a keyword from an action bar, DataManager overlays that panel with another panel. Since the new panel's action bar is now active, you can choose Panel, Exit or Help.

Choosing Panel displays a pop-up window that provides you with the following options:

• Move gives you instructions on how to reposition panels on the screen.
• Suspend allows you to freeze a panel on your screen, making it inactive but visible. The other panels you display will overlay suspended panels. By suspending one panel and then another, you can toggle back and forth between them.

Note: Windows may also extend beyond the screen's edge. However, you cannot enter data into fields that aren't completely contained on the screen.

Message Line: DataManager displays messages on the line below the local F keys on all windows. Messages overwrite the bottom border of the box.
