                              must hold down the key labeled



                                                                        Ctrl



                                                                            while you
                              press another key or a pointing device button.
  [ ] In format descriptions, brackets indicate that

  | In format descriptions, vertical bars sepa-
                              rate the options. If the options are enclosed in
                              brackets (i.e. [ ]) you can select none, one or

                              may be chosen or a syntax repeated. A range
