The hvw command produces character-driven menus that guide you in a way designed to be self-explanatory. The following are some of the most frequently used menu operations and items:
Selecting items
This is normally done by typing the number of the item followed by the [Enter] or [Return] key. Within the menu, a prompting line indicates the kind of input that is required. A >> prompt indicates that a string of text should be entered.
Responding to messages
Within the menus, several kinds of messages are displayed. One type of message might be to inform the user about the activities that the wizard has performed; for example, a consistency check that ended in a positive result. Other messages may prompt the user to continue the configuration procedure with a certain activity; for example, choosing an application name.
HELP
This item provides user assistance and is available at the top of every wizard menu.
QUIT
This quits the wizard menu system.
RETURN
This moves one level upward in the menu system; that is, from a subordinate menu to the menu it was called from.
SAVE+EXIT and NOSAVE+EXIT
These save or discard your input and then exit. SAVE+EXIT will be disabled in read-only mode, and it may be disabled if the configuration is inconsistent at that point.
NEXT and PREVIOUS
If all items cannot be listed in a single screen due to many items to be selected, some are displayed in the next screen. Press NEXT to go on to the next screen, and press PREVIOUS to go back to the previous screen.
