Document Conventions

This guide observes the following conventions:

• Menu names, command names, and dialog box options appear in bold text.
• Keystroke commands that you press appear in bold text.
• The command syntax for the PAC Mate QX appears first, followed in parentheses by the version of the same command for the BX.
