Entering Your Choice

Selections are made in the same way almost everywhere in the program. In either Sd or Sdtty, you may type in the selection. The program has a sophisticated completing reader that lets you abbreviate what you type. It is discussed in detail in section The Completing Reader.

In Sd, you may additionally select an item from the menu in the usual ways. You may double-click it, or highlight it (by using the cursor keys, for example) and click the `Accept' button. (You may activate things with a single mouse click, if you prefer that style of operation, by issuing the toggle singleclick mode command or by placing the single_click option in your initialization file.)

You can see the choices that are available by typing a question mark or exclamation point. This is discussed in detail in section Question Mark and Exclamation Point.

In normal operation, the menu lists calls first, concepts next, and miscellaneous commands last. This menu is typically extremely large and needs to be manipulated with cursor keys or the scroll bar.
