Administering your system with SCOadmin

Using character buttons

There are three types of buttons, all of which are operated by highlighting them, then pressing <Space> or <Enter>:


pushbuttons
Have text names enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). Buttons that bring up other windows have ellipses (...) appended to the text. Some bring up an option menu from which you must make a selection. Highlight the text label associated with the button rather than the button itself.

radio buttons
Are marked with angle brackets (< >) and are used to select exactly one of a group of options. When a radio button is selected, an asterisk (*) appears within the brackets. Selecting a second button deselects the previous button.

checkboxes
Are similar to radio buttons and consist of square brackets ([ ]) and a text label. When a checkbox is selected, an asterisk (*) appears within the brackets. Checkboxes are used to select one, more than one, or none of a group of options. Toggle to deselect.
