*usrMiDefTer,A
Definition of Terms

Parallel port
A connector, on your PC and tablet, that is used to attach a
parallel device, such as a printer. On your PC, it is common
to have two parallel ports, but you can have more. Although
parallel ports are often unlabeled on the back of PC, DOS
applications distinguish between the ports by giving them
labels in the software (known as LPT1 and LPT2).

Port
A connector on the back of your PC, or on the top of the
tablet, into which you plug a cable that will transfer data
to and from your computer.

Queue
The list of print jobs waiting to be printed on a printer.

Serial port
A connector, on your PC and tablet, that is used to attach a
serial device, such as a modem, mouse, or printer. Serial
ports are used for asynchronous communication. The typical
serial port has a connector  with 25 pins (the standard RS-
232 variety), although 9-pin connectors are also possible.
On your PC it is common to have one serial port, but you can
have more. Although serial ports are often unlabeled on the
back of the PC, DOS applications distinguish between the
ports by giving them labels in the software (known as COM1
through COM4).

Spooling
The process by which documents are sent to the printer while
the computer is used for other tasks.

Status Line
The status line at the bottom of the PenCentral screen
displays the PC-to-tablet activity that is currently taking
place and what PC port is being used. If no tablet users are
accessing your PC, the line will say your PenCentral server
is not in use.

Volume
A PC drive that PenCentral has made available to tablet
users. All of a volume's directories, subdirectories, and
files are available to the tablet users.

Volume Names
The names of hard disks and floppy disks the PC makes
available to tablet users. Volume names are what the tablet
users see in their Connections Notebook as the names of
available network disks.


*usrMiExiPen,A
==> Exiting PenCentral

To exit PenCentral:

1. Make sure that PenCentral is not servicing a tablet user.
   Check the status line if you are not sure.  The status
   line should say "Ready to accept active connections."

2. Select Exit from the menu bar.

If you try to exit while PenCentral is servicing a tablet
user, you see a warning asking you whether or not to
disconnect the user. If you choose to wait for the user to
finish, watch the activity status line to find out when the
user is finished (no connections activity).


*usrMiNavDiaBox,A
NAVIGATING DIALOG BOXES
The following screens explain two elements that appear in
the PenCentral dialog boxes:

        Pushbuttons
        Selection Lists

When these elements are not available, they will appear
dim, grey (on color monitors), or in reverse video (for
monochrome monitors). This shading indicates that function
represented by the element is not currently available.

PUSHBUTTONS
Pushbuttons are an on-screen device for selecting an action
such as Ok or Cancel. When a button is highlighted, it
appears on color monitors as white or on monochrome monitors
as a brighter shade.

Keyboard:
  To select a highlighted button, just press the Enter key.
  To select any other button, you can use the Tab key to
    highlight the button, then press the Enter key.
  To toggle back and forth between selection lists and
    pushbuttons, use the TAB key or appropriate arrow key.

Mouse:
  To select a highlighted button for a highlighted option,
    double-click on the option.
  To select any other button, click once on the button that
    you want.


SELECTION LISTS
Selection lists provide a number of choices within a box
that has a scroll bar within the right hand border.

==> To select an item from a selection list:

Keyboard:
   Use the PgUp and PgDn keys to move the highlight bar and
   scroll quickly through the list. Then, use the Up and Down
   arrow keys to highlight the selection and then press Enter.

   To toggle back and forth between selection lists and
   pushbuttons, use the TAB key or appropriate arrow key.

Mouse:
   Click once on the selection that you want.
   On a large list, scroll through the options either by
   clicking on the darker arrows at the top and bottom of the
   scroll bar or by placing the mouse on the darker rectangle
   within the scroll bar, holding the button down, and sliding
   the dark rectangle up and down. Then, click on the selection
   that you want.


*usrMiNavHel,A
NAVIGATING PENCENTRAL

PenCentral's menus and dialog boxes behave as typical DOS
pull-down menus and dialog boxes. You can use your keyboard,
a mouse, or a combination of the two to move around in
dialog boxes, open menus, and select menu items.

To move around in PenCentral, you can use either your
keyboard or mouse (left button).

You may notice that certain letters in the menu bar are in 
color on a color screen or underlined on a monochrome screen;
for example Setup.  These letters, called "hot keys", make it
easier for you to access these options through the keyboard.

When an option contains such a letter, you can use that hot
key to select the item. You can either use the hot key to select
the item or press the Alt key with the hot key.

For information on navigating menus, see the Help topic
"Navigating Menus". For information on navigating dialog
boxes, see the Help topic "Navigating Dialog Boxes".
