                               MOUSE CONTROLS

   Button   Name       Function
   -------  ---------  -----------------------------------------------------
   Middle   MENU       Pop-up the main menu of feature options.  This is
                       equivalent to clicking any mouse button on the MAIN
                       MENU button on the screen menu.

   Right    SELECT     Select the figure or connector under the cursor.
                       If the object beneath the cursor is already selected,
                       deselect it.

                       Clicking while no object is below the cursor deselects
                       all selected figures.
                                                           
                       Dragging a "lasso" shown by a dotted box around a 
                       group of objects selects those objects.

   Left     DRAG       "Drags" the figure beneath the cursor to a new position.
                       If multiple objects are selected, they are all dragged.

                       If no object is beneath the cursor, a new figure is 
                       created.

   * Note that DRAG, SELECT, and MENU can be assigned to different buttons.


                          ADDITIONAL MOUSE CONTROLS

   Moving past screen edge  Scrolls the screen (if auto-scrolling is enabled).
   DRAG on screen edge      Scrolls the screen.
   Control key + DRAG       Resizes the figure beneath the cursor.
   Control key + DRAG       "Splits" the connector beneath the cursor.
   Alt key + DRAG           Duplicates the figure(s) under the cursor.
   Shift key + SELECT       Selects objects only (never deselects all).
                            Also selects select-locked figures

                             MOST OFTEN USED KEYS

   Legend:  ^C     means press the control key (Ctrl) and the "C" key together.
            Alt-N  means press the Alt key and the "N" key together.
            Key-*  means press the "*" key on the keypad (not shift-8)
            Down   means press the down arrow on the keyboard (not numlocked)
            (shift status is ignored for all, so "^A" is the same as "^a")

Non-Programmable:

   Key       Function    
   ---       --------------------------------------------------------------

   CONTROL   Use with DRAG mouse button to resize a figure or to split a
             connector.
 
   ALT       Use with DRAG mouse button to duplicate objects or groups of
             objects.

   SHIFT     Provides additional select capabilities.  When pressed along
             with SELECT mouse button, selects figures which are 
             select-locked and also inhibits the deselect-all function.  
             When pressed while executing a feature that normally deselects 
             all figures upon completion, inhibits deselection.

   ESC       Used to cancel in the middle of operations.  Also used with 
             control key to exit without save.  For example, ESC cancels 
             menus and features.  If you are performing a drag, copy,
             resize, view, connection, and so on, ESC returns 
             to the original condition.

   SCROLL LOCK Use to turn on and off feature code report mode.
