There are 2 ways of focusing on the Menu Bar - Actions Option, these are:-
1. Press the ALT key, focus will be placed on the first item on the Menu Bar "File". Press the Right Cursor key 5 times, Thunder will then announce "Actions menu item with sub menu", press the Down Cursor key and the option menu will be opened. 2. Hold down the ALT key and press the letter "A" once, focus will now be placed on the top item in the Actions option.
There can be many options in a menu list, these can vary according to the version of the program currently running. An example of such a list is shown below and a very brief description of its function.
Control + N = New Mail message - This clears the screen and a New Mail message form is displayed and the focus is in the text box waiting for you to say to whom the message is to be sent;
New Fax Message - Similar to "New Mail Message" but a FAX;
New Mail Message Using Sub Menu;
Flag For Follow Up (Control+Shift +G);
Junk Email - With sub menu;
Reply (Control + R) - This screen displays a new form with the mail recipient already completed and the Subject box completed, all you need do is type your reply and send the email;
Reply To All (Control+Shift + R) - Similar to "Reply", however, a message is sent to all those listed in the To box.;
Forward (Control + F) - This allows you to Forward an email to another person without having to retype the original email.
Have some fun trying out these options. Please be careful when experimenting, we do not want you to loose any vital data.
