Commands are used to take action on objects and text frames. In AT&T

FACE, objects are forms and menus, and files that are accessed through

the Office. A text frame is used to display the tasks you are working

on. Commands can be executed from the Commands Menu, from the command

line, or from function keys. The Frames and Function Key Overview

lists the commands that are available on the function keys.

The Commands Menu is a multi-column menu of the FACE commands. It

provides you with a commands reference list as well as providing you

with a way to issue commands. The HELP (F1) that is available for

each command on the Commands Menu explains the command that is

highlighted and tells you if the command takes arguments and what

they are.

Executing commands from the Commands Menu:

1. Press the function key labeled CMD-MENU (F7) or type

cmd-menu on the command line. The Commands Menu will appear

and the function key labels will change to: HELP (F1) and

CANCEL (F6).

2. Navigate in the Commands Menu with the arrow keys. If you

would like to issue a command to perform an action on the

current frame that contains a form, menu, file, or file

folder, or if you would like to issue a command that needs no

arguments press ENTER. The command selected will be issued

and the Commands Menu will close.

3. If you would like to issue a command from the Commands Menu,

but you would like to specify your own command arguments,

move the cursor to the command you would like to issue and

press CTRL-j (depress the CTRL key and press j simultaneously).

The highlighted command will appear on the command line. Type

additional arguments and press ENTER to perform the action.

4. If you do not wish to issue a command from the Commands Menu,

press CANCEL to close the Commands Menu Frame.

Executing commands from the command line:

1. Press CTRL-j to see the -> prompt on the command line.

2. Type the command you want to execute, followed by the arguments

to the command, if any.

Note: Striking HELP (F1) after you typed the command on the

command line will provide help for the command. This

help will describe the valid arguments to the command.

Executing commands from the function keys F1 - F8:

1. Some of the commands that are in the commands menu can be

executed through the function keys that are displayed at the

bottom of the screen. The Frames and Function Key Overview

provides details on the values of the function keys for the

different types of frames.

2. To issue a command press the function key that is labeled with

the selected command. The command will be issued on the frame

that is currently active, or the file or file folder that is

highlighted in the frame.

3. If the command requires additional arguments, the -> prompt

will appear on the command line. Type the arguments to the

command and press ENTER.
