2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

2.1 General considerations

The software supplied with the RM-026 programming package works under the
Windows environment, thus it is assumed that the user has some experience in
running applications in Windows. At all events, it is as well to explain certain
terminology, so that this manual may be as clear as possible.

In order to move around the different options on the program menus, there are
four ways to select orders:
1) By situating the mouse over a menu and pressing the left-hand button of the
mouse.
2) Through the combination of keys "ALT + Initial of the chosen option". (For
example: ALT + C selects the Config menu).
3) By pressing the combination of keys associated with the order to be made.
(For example: Exit = ALT + F4).
4) By selecting the icon corresponding to the order to be made.
There are two ways to select one option of several appearing in a window:

opposite direction.
