Conventions Used in the Manual
In the installation and manager chapters of this manual certain conventions
have been used to distinguish user input from system output.
User input via an attached terminal is indicated by text in boldface with
single key names being enclosed in angle brackets, e.g.
EDIT 4<RETURN>
When two or more keys are to be pressed simultaneously, the convention of
a plus sign between the characters is used, e.g.
<CTRL>+E
indicates that the control key should be held down while the E character is
entered.
