When a menu placeholder is expanded, the Editor displays a list of
options. Pressing the up and down arrow keys (bound to the GOTO
CHARACTER/VERTICAL command) allows you to move from one option to
another.
To obtain help text on an indicated option, press the GOLD-HELP (PF2)
sequence.
Pressing the EXPAND, ENTER, or RETURN key allows you to expand the
selected option and remove the menu display.
Pressing the key bound to the GOTO SCREEN command (Keypad 8 key) also
allows you to move through the menu, skipping several options at a
time.
Pressing any other key removes the menu display and performs the
operation normally associated with the key.
If the option is a placeholder name, the placeholder is enclosed in
the same class of delimiter as the menu option being expanded (unless
the /LIST qualifier on DEFINE PLACEHOLDER specifies otherwise) and
the Editor then automatically performs an EXPAND operation. If /LIST
is specified, the list form of the delimiter found on the menu option
is used.
If there is a description associated with the placeholder or token
name appearing as a choice in a menu, the Editor displays the
description along with the name. For example:
IF: tests an expression and establishes an action
