Menu System 5 Menus and Moving Around in MUSE MUSE uses a hierarchical menu system. Choosing an item from a list on a menu will either reveal another menu deeper in the layered hierarchy of menus, or directly issue a command. The title of a menu always appears in its upper-left corner. Notice the "Main" menu on the right side of the "Main Menu" screen. The items on the menu include the Primary and Locality data files mentioned above. The Taxonomic History and Taxonomic Dictionary data files are listed on another menu (under "Other Files"). Choosing Menu Items You may choose a menu item in either of two ways: Getting Help Use the cursor keys, < > and < >, to move up or down the list of items on a menu to highlight your choice. Then press . Or, press the key containing the first letter of the desired menu item (e.g. for "Locality")you do not need to press the key; the lowercase letter works fine). On some screens (for example, where two choices start with the same letter) it may be necessary to press after pressing the first letter. Press to exit from any screen or menu in MUSE and return (move back) to an earlier menu or to the "Main Menu" screen. Help is available from menus and while viewing records: From the "Main" menu, you may choose "Help" to obtain a brief introduction to the Help system. The Help system can be invoked at any time in MUSE by pressing the function key. When available, the first level of help presents information specific to the menu item or field on which the cursor resides. Press again to obtain a second level of help containing more general information: from a menu, you will see a short explanation of current menu choices; from a form, you will see help on key actions. Press to expand or contract the help window. Press the arrows or to scroll lines within the help window. In addition, while viewing records (in "Add," "Edit," or "Browse")see below), a few often-used key functions are listed across the top of the screen. For your reference, the help information on key functions is included in 5-1 5 Menus and Moving Around in MUSE

When MUSE prompts for information, such as a catalog number or field number, you will always be required to finish the action by pressing . This documentation will not repeat that instruction each time it indicates you should type in a response. You may choose "System Configure" from the "Utilities" menu to access a number of site-specific configuration items, including institution name and acronym; whether or not group number is to be automatically retrieved from the Taxonomic Dictionary and entered in Primary; and the default selection for the label type to be printed. Some items on this form may be protected against unauthorized change; others should be changed only with caution. APPENDIX E: System Configuration Items lists the various items and options on this form and describes their use. The menu choice, "Configure" lets users set up the colors used by MUSE. See Appendix E: for details of these choices. To temporarily leave MUSE)shell out to DOS)move to the "Main Menu" screen, choose "DOS Functions", and then choose "DOS". Type "exit" when you are ready to return to MUSE. Choose "Xtrieve" from the "DOS Functions" menu to start Xtrieve while running MUSE. If a message appears indicating insufficient memory, you will need to exit MUSE with the "Quit" command before starting Xtrieve. In most configurations of MUSE, you will be unable to run "Xtrieve" from within the program. To exit from the MUSE program at the end of a session and return to DOS, move to the "Main Menu" screen and choose "Quit". 5-2 5 Menus and Moving Around in MUSE
