Note: In order for these accelerators to be used, the display window (or any properties dialog) must have focus. That is, its border must be colored. Tear-away menus are not included; you can use the arrow keys in those to navigate through the menus - the right arrow opens cascades. If your pointer is over an application menu (e.g., the Volume Browser), you also can't use the keyboard accelerators. (This same point applies to the text window that you can use on the graphics screen; you can't type commands there unless it has the colored border indicating focus.)
