Since the iWAY screen responds to pressure, with practice, you will
learn exactly the right amount of pressure to operate the touch screen
controls. Buttons are easy while scrollbars can be a little more chal-
lenging.
NOTE:
From time to time you may notice a slight delay between pressing
an on-screen button and seeing the iWAY respond. The delay may
be necessary while the iWAY retrieves information from the hard
drive. If the iWAY does not immediately respond to a touch screen
command look for the hourglass icon in the lower left corner of the
screen. Wait until the hourglass disappears from the screen before
entering another command.
"Press and Drag"
Some controls, such as the scrollbar or the zoom selection box which we
will describe later in this section, require you to press and drag an item
on the touch screen.
The term "press and drag" will be used throughout this manual. It re-
fers to the motion of selecting an item on-screen by pressing on it then
maintaining that pressure while you drag the item to a new location on
the screen.
Closing Menus
Menus and dialogs that appear on your screen will all have an "X" icon
in the top right corner, just like you are used to seeing on your home
computer. Remember that all menus and dialogs can be closed by
pressing
X.
The Main Menu
When using the iWAY in either Map Mode or Music Mode press the
MENU button located in the top left corner of the screen to open the Main
Menu. The Main Menu contains commands that let you switch modes,
perform searches or customize the iWAY’s behavior.
