fastpath

Graphical User Interface (BC-FES-GUI)

Fast access method for menu paths.

The fastpath allows you to start menu functions by entering single letters or a combination of letters in the command field.

For example, instead of choosing "Program" in the menu bar and then "Get" in the pull-down menu, you can enter ".ph" in the command field.

The period informs the system that a fastpath command follows. Each subsequent letter denotes a menu bar or pull-down menu option. These letters are known as access characters and are underscored in the menus.
