ENTER = Read in sequence                          PF 3 = End tutorial

While in a tutorial option, you can:

• Read through the tutorial sequentially by pressing the Enter key to see the next panel.
• Skip around in the tutorial by selecting specific options.
• Exit the tutorial at any time by pressing the END PF key (PF 3).

To avoid feeling "lost" in the tutorial, keep in mind that:

• If you press the Enter key to read through the options sequentially, you don't return to the menu panel, but continue to the next menu panel.

  For example, if you don't select an option from Menu 1 and press the Enter key, you see the options sequentially. After all the options are displayed, you see Menu 2.

  Figure 1. Reading through a tutorial sequentially
• If you select an option from a menu panel, that menu panel is the starting point and ending point for the option. You can select options sequentially, or you can select only the options about which you want to read. When you finish with all the options on the menu panel, you see the next menu panel.

  For example, if you select Option 1 from Menu 1, you see the Option 1 tutorial. When the tutorial is over, you again see Menu 1 from which you can select Option 2. After all the options are selected, you see Menu 2.

  Figure 2. Reading a tutorial by selecting options
• If you become confused about where you are in the tutorial, first press the UP PF key (PF 7) to see the prior menu panel. If you still feel confused, press the END PF key (PF 3) to display the Information Center Facility user services menu panel. You can then re-select the tutorial option and start over.
