AT&T FACE presents your files and file folders on the screen 
through a system of menus and forms. The following describes 
the different parts of the AT&T FACE display.

   Title Line:  This is the top line of the display. The date
   is always displayed in the center. On the far left is the
   electronic mail alert, "MAIL", indicating  when new mail has
   arrived. (You can read your mail by selecting "Programs"
   from the "AT&T FACE" menu and selecting "Mail Services".)
   On the far right is the "working" indicator, letting you 
   know when the system is processing your requested action.

   Work Area:  The middle section of the screen is the work area 
   where frames are displayed.  See the Frames and Function key 
   overview for a description of frames. The size of the work 
   area is determined by the size of the screen of your terminal. 

   AT&T FACE Menu:  This menu is the "active" frame when you invoke
   FACE.  It serves as a starting point from which all parts of
   FACE can be accessed.  It is always present on the screen. 
   You can specify additional frames to be opened when FACE is 
   invoked through Preferences on the Office menu.

   Message Line:  Just below the work area there is a line called 
   the message line.  It prompts you for an action or gives you 
   feedback on the action you performed.  When you are 
   completing a field in a frame, the message line prompts 
   you for input and tells you what function keys to press.  If 
   you make an error in your input, the message line will inform
   you of the error.  To see the original message again, navigate 
   from the field and then navigate back.

   Command Line:  This line follows the message line.  It is
   the place where you type commands and their arguments.  
   This line is accessed by typing CTRL-j (holding down the 
   CTRL key and striking j simultaneously.  An arrow (-->) will 
   appear on the command line.  Type the command followed by 
   arguments and press ENTER to execute it.

   Function Keys:  The labels at the bottom of the screen
   correspond to the keyboard function keys <f1> to <f8> which 
   are supported on many terminal keyboards.  When you press a key, 
   they action that labels the key is taken. The labels change 
   depending the type of frame that is currently active.  See the 
   Frames and Function Keys Overview for details.

   If your terminal does not have function keys that are usable 
   with AT&T FACE, you can use alternate keystrokes.  These are 
   listed in the AT&T FACE  User's Guide.  Most of the labeled 
   functions are also available through the Commands Menu or can 
   be typed on the command line. The Commands Overview provides 
   more detail.
