Using Dialog Boxes to select options on the HP 100LX

Print Dialog Box:  Graphic

 A Dialog Box may be divided into sections (e.g. the example above has: Print, Style, Print to, and Title boxes). You can enter information into the dialog box via Option buttons ("Current Item" and "These Items" in the example above); List boxes (box below "These Items" and below "Custom" in example above); Check boxes ("1 item per page" and "Include today's date" above) or Text boxes (box below "Title" above). Not all dialog boxes use all four ways.

Tab to the desired section and use the arrow to select the desired option, or simply press the underlined letter (e.g. i for Current Item above). If you are in a Text or List box, press (ALT) and the underlined letter to move to the desired Option button. Here are some other important points:

• Option buttons --you can select only one option button in a given section (e.g. Current Items or These Items in the Print section above).
• List box --offers a list of choices. Tab to the box and use the up/down arrow keys to select choice. (e.g. select These Items and press (<Tab>) and the first item in the List box is highlighted. Use the up/down arrow keys to move to different selections.)
• Check box --go to the check box and press (<Spacebar>) to select item (e.g. press d to go to "Include today's date" and press (<Spacebar>)).
• Text box --lets you type in information (e.g. press Title and enter a title for the appointment list you're printing). You can also do this in some List boxes.
• Command buttons --are the large, round buttons for OK, Cancel, and a few other commands (also available as function keys. (Setup, OK, and Cancel are in the lower right of the Dialog box in the above example.) For more information, see page 2-7 of HP 100LX User's Guide.
