F12 F12 key None INSERT INS key Must be used with the CONTROL modifier. DELETE DEL key Must be used with the CONTROL modifier. ESCAPE ESC key It is not recommended that you assign a menu macro to the ESC key, because ESC is generally associated with Cancel. CONTROL+ESCAPE and CONTROL+SHIFT+ESCAPE 3 cannot be assigned a menu macro; these sequences are controlled by Windows. Using the SHIFT modifier with this key is acceptable. UP UPARROW key Must be used with the CONTROL modifier. DOWN DOWNARROW key Must be used with the CONTROL modifier. LEFT LEFTARROW key Must be used with the CONTROL modifier.

Nonalphanumeric characters not listed are reserved for future use as special menu characters. Special characters for labels in Pop menu sections Characte r Description Expands to become a separator line in the pull-down and shortcut menus (when used with no other characters). –> Indicates that the pull-down or shortcut menu item has a submenu. <– Indicates that the pull-down or shortcut menu item is the last item in the menu or submenu. <–<– Indicates that the pull-down or shortcut menu item is the last item in the submenu and terminates the parent menu. (One <- is required to terminate each parent menu.) $( Enables the pull-down or shortcut menu item label to evaluate a DIESEL string macro if $( are the first characters. ~ Makes a menu item unavailable. !. Marks a menu item with a check mark. 5 & Placed directly before a character, specifies that character as the menu access key in a pull-down or shortcut menu label. For example, S&le displays Sample (with the letter a underlined). /c Specifies the menu access key in a pull-down or shortcut menu label. For example, /aSample displays Sample (with the letter a underlined). \t Pushes all label text to the right of these characters to the right side of the menu.
