 CONTROLS 

1. MOUSE: All menus and commands can be activated with a single
click of the left button of your mouse. When selecting items from
a list, a double click is required as a single click only highlights
the item. Lists and some text boxes also have vertical scroll bars.
Clicking the bar will quickly move the list up and down. Clicking the
small arrows at either end of the scroll bar will move the list one
item at a time. Some lists, such as points and connections to be
changed or when selecting disk drives, are condensed with only a
single entry displayed. The list can be expanded by clicking the small 
arrow beside the single entry.

2. ACCESS KEYS: Menu items and other labels throughout the program have
access keys that are in a different color from the rest of the label.
To activate or use that item, press the alt key plus that key. For
example, to designate a city you have selected in the city list as the
starting point, press 'alt-f' since the 'f' in 'from' is the access key.
The access keys for menu items are not visible until the alt key is
pressed.

3. SHORT-CUT KEYS: Some Top Line Menu (TLM) items have an addition method
of selecting that option. One of the items under <Maps> is
<List Maps    F2>. In this case, <F2> is a short-cut key and pressing it
lists the maps without using the TLM menu.

4. TOP LINE MENU:

   a. Access the top line menu by clicking on the TLM item with the mouse
or by pressing the alt key. Once the TLM is selected, you can move to
other TLM items with the mouse or the left/right arrow keys. If there are
sub-items on a menu, they will pop-down. These items can be selected with
the up/down cursor key and then pressing enter. They can also be selected
by pressing the access key.

   b. TLM items are also selected by pressing the access key. The access
are not visible (not in a different color) until the alt key is pressed.

   c. Some menu options are not applicable to all areas of VP. If a menu
item does not apply, it may be deleted from the TLM or only displayed
in a light color meaning it cannot be selected. For example, you can
only save a map when you are in Map Maker; therefore <Save Map> is not
displayed under <Maps> when in Automatic Trip Planning.
