Tools: Editors, Painters, Modelers (BC-DWB-TOO)

Fast access method for functions in menu paths.

The fastpath allows users to start functions in menus without using the mouse by entering single letters or a combination of letters in the command field.

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.

You define the fastpath for a function in the Menu Painter.
