NewDeal Hot Tip 1511
General Use
Express Menu and Running Apps Window
Express Menu In Motif
NewDeal software allows you to switch among your running
applications or start a new application from within your
current application without returning to the World folder
by using the Express menu. The express menu appears when
you click the Express button located at the top left corner
of any NewDeal application window when using the Motif
User Interface (available in Preferences, Change UI).
To start an application using the Express menu
- Click the
xpress button.
- Click
. A submenu
will appear with a list of applications and folders.
- Click the name of the application you would like to start or
- Click one of the folders and choose an application from the submenu
that appears.
For more on starting and exiting NewDeal Applications refer to
your manual.
Express Menu In NewUI
If you've chosen NewUI from the Change UI module in Preferences,
then the Express menu appears at the left end of the task bar.
Running Apps Window
If you're using NewUI and NewDesk, there's another way to
see which applications are running and to switch among them.
Just press both mouse buttons at the same time (or press
Ctrl+Alt+Esc) and a list of all running applications will
appear. If you have difficulty pressing both mouse buttons
at the same time, hold down the left mouse button while you
press and release the right button. To switch to an application
on the list, double click it (or choose it with the Arrow keys
on your keyboard and press Enter to select it). To dismiss the
Running Apps Window, close it like any other window.
