The dialog is a set of predefined display images, called panels, from which you can add and delete information. Each panel contains directions for using the functions on the panel. If you are unsure about what to do on the panel, you can obtain help information for each panel by typing help on the command line or by pressing the HELP PF key.

How you access the dialog depends on where it was installed. For information about installing the dialog and how to access it, see Installing the Dialog.

Most of the dialog's panels accept user input through a command line, PF keys, and input fields. In addition, messages appear when an error occurs and when a function completes.
