Accessing the command interface

To access the command interface from the menu interface, press PF12 or PF24. This same key toggles you back to the menu interface.

You can enter commands in both the menu interface and the command interface. However, the PF key settings are different in these two interfaces.

The PF keys in the menu interface support menu system navigation; in the command interface, they fetch analysis screens directly. For example, in the command interface, pressing PF3 takes you to a screen space named #03. New users might consider entering commands on the menu interface panels, rather than switching to the command interface. The menu interface is easier to use than the command interface.
