Conventions

The screen shots in this book were taken on Windows. Unless otherwise noted, the application is the same on Windows and UNIX. For cases where the application is different on UNIX, a UNIX screen shot has been included as well.

You should use the appropriate conventions for your platform. For example, when specifying a path, use backslashes on Windows and slashes on UNIX. Significant differences between the platforms are noted in the text.

Typographical Conventions

The typographical conventions used throughout the support system are described in the following table:

Conventions

Convention Description

GUIFont

Used to depict graphical user interface (GUI) objects, such as fields, list boxes, menu commands, and so on. For example: Enter your password in the Password field.

Italics

Used for placeholder text, book titles, new terms, or emphasis. Replace placeholder text with your specific text.

For example, replace filename with the name of your file. Do not use file names that contain spaces.

Code

Used to show what commands you need to type, to identify pathnames where files are located, and to distinguish system or application text that is displayed to you or that is part of a code example.

Key+Key

Used to show that you must hold down the first key while pressing the second key. For example, Ctrl+S means hold down the Ctrl key while you press S.

Toolbar buttons

If toolbar buttons are available, they are displayed in the margin next to the step in which you can use them. Other shortcuts are noted as tips. (Shortcut, or accelerator, keys are displayed next to their respective menu choices in the applications themselves.)

Tips, Notes, and Cautions

Tips, notes, and cautions are used to emphasize information. The following samples describe when each is used.
