The type and status of the member determines whether keywords are displayed the first time the panel is displayed:
- If the member is order-dependent, the list of keywords is displayed according to the predefined order.
- If the member is new or empty, a list of all possible keywords for the member is displayed (Display All). The list of keywords is shown in alphabetical order, unless the member is order-dependent.
- If the member is not empty or new, the list contains the current keywords defined in the member (Display Selected). The list is shown in custom order. You can obtain a display of all possible keywords for the member by using the View pull-down Display All option.
To display the default values for parameters, press the F6 function key to toggle between displaying and not displaying defaults. The default values are displayed in the description field of the parameter. When default values are displayed, the description or comment appears to the right of the field. Shifting the display to the right or left is not supported.
