4.1.1 File Menu
The File menu has one item, Exit. Selecting this item terminates the program.
4.1.2 Edit Menu
The Edit menu contains standard Windows items plus a Preferences item which
is unique to EMS. Copy and Paste can be used to copy text from the NOC-NEM
terminal (within the Maintenance Interface) to an outside application such as a
text editor. Cut does the same as Copy.
Selecting the Preferences item in the Edit menu displays the Preferences
window, shown in Figure 49. The Preferences window is used in defining EMS
ports and paths for system files, as well as for several other system options.
Tab le 4 describes the items in the Preferences window.
