Using menus in SCO Shell

You interact with SCO Shell using the menu line displayed near the top of the screen. Move between the menu items using the <Left Arrow> and <Right Arrow> keys or the space bar. If you select a menu item and press <Enter>, the associated action is carried out. Alternatively, you can select a menu item by pressing the key corresponding to the first letter of its name.

Some menu items change the menu line to ask you for more information. For example, if you select Options, the menu line changes to display a different set of options. You can go back to the previous menu by pressing <Esc>.

Other menu items present you with a list of options otherwise known as a point-and-pick list. For example, if you select Application, the cursor moves to a new window below the menu bar; you can move up and down the list of available applications using the <Up Arrow> and <Down Arrow> keys. You can run an application by pressing <Enter>.
