Dialog Boxes On DECwindows, a dialog box appears so you can enter additional information or make further choices. Menu items that display a dialog box are marked with an ellipsis (...) in the menu. Usage notes: o Some dialog boxes have entry lines for typing additional information. Keys in the dialog box are determined by DECwindows, not by EVE. <X] (the DELETE key) ... To correct typing errors TAB .................... To move to the next entry line (if any) o Some dialog boxes contain buttons to choose or toggle settings---for example, Buffer Attributes and Global Attributes in the EVE Option menu. You click M1 on the buttons for the settings you want to change. o Other buttons that may appear: OK ........ Completes the operation and dismisses the dialog box. APPLY ..... Applies your choices and keeps the dialog box displayed. DISMISS ... Dismisses the dialog box. CANCEL .... Cancels the operation or choices, and dismisses the box. o If the dialog box covers a part of the text you want to see, you can drag the box out of the way, as follows: 1. Point to the banner at the top of the dialog box. 2. Press and hold M1. 3. Drag the box out of the way, and then release M1. o Dialog boxes do NOT appear for typed commands or for defined keys. Instead, EVE prompts you to type the information on the command line the same as on a character-cell terminal, even if the command appears on a menu (see help on Prompts And Responses).
