<P><FONT SIZE="+1"><B>Conventions Used In This Book</B></FONT></P>
<P>The <I>Using</I> series has some conventions that control the formatting of text, and they are used to help you distinguish between generic information and a discussion about a dialog box or menu you’re viewing on your screen.</P>
<DL>
<DD><B>•</B> <I>Menu and Dialog Box Choices</I>. Words that appear in a menu or a dialog box are printed in bold type. For example, you might see text that says “choose <B>Color</B>, then select a new background color from the palette that appears.”
<DD><B>•</B> <I>Hot-keys</I>. We underline references to hot-keys, which are underlined letters in menu commands and dialog boxes that you can use with your Alt key instead of employing the mouse.
<DD><B>•</B> <I>Combination Keys</I>. We use a plus sign (+) to indicate that keys should be used together. For example, you may see “press <B>Ctrl+A</B> to select everything.”
<DD><B>•</B> <I>Cross References</I>. If there’s information that’s connected to the topic you’re currently reading, we’ll tell you which chapter has it. You can use this information to learn more about the subject, or take the next step in building whatever it is you’re building at the moment. For example:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1"><HR><B>SEE ALSO</B><BR>• To learn how to change the prompt of your command line, see page 96.<HR></FONT>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<DD><B>•</B> <I>Tips, warnings and sidebars</I>. These new page elements highlight tips, related software news, techniques, and potential traps. By giving these valuable notes explicit titles and placing them in the margin, we’ve made them handy and easy to find, without breaking up the text that explains the procedure you’re currently working your way through.
