BIOS Setup Utilities Functional Area Title (Tab) Bar Page Title Setup Item List Item-Specific Help Area Keyboard Command Area Table 4. BIOS Setup Page Layout Description The Title Bar is located at the top of the screen and displays "Tabs" with the titles of the top-level pages, or screens that can be selected. Using the left and right arrow keys moves from page to page through the Tabs. When there are more Tabs than can be displayed on the Title (Tab) Bar, they will scroll off to the left or right of the screen and temporarily disappear from the visible Title Bar. Using the arrow keys will scroll them back onto the visible Title Bar. When the arrow keys reach either end of the Title Bar, they will "wrap around" to the other end of the Title Bar. For multi-level hierarchies, this shows only the top-level page above the page which the user is currently viewing. The Page Title gives further information. In a multi-level hierarchy of pages beneath one of the top-level Tabs, the Page Title identifying the specific page which the user is viewing is located in the upper left corner of the page. Using the (Escape) key will return the user to the higher level in the hierarchy, until the top-level Tab page is reached. The Setup Item List is a set of control entries and informational items. The list is displayed in two columns. For each item in the list:  The left column of the list contains Prompt String (or Label String), a character string which identifies the item. The Prompt String may be up to 34 characters long in the 80 x 24 page format.  The right column contains a data field which may be an informational data display, a data input field, or a multiple choice field. Data input or multiplechoice fields are demarcated by square brackets "[....]". This field may be up to 90 characters long, but only the first 22 characters can be displayed on the 80 x 24 page (24 characters for an informational display-only field). The operator navigates up and down the right hand column through the available input or choice fields. A Setup Item may also represent a selection to open a new screen with a further group of options for specific functionality. In this case, the operator navigates to the desired selection and presses to go to the new screen. The Item-specific Help Area is located on the right side of the screen and contains Help Text specific to the highlighted Setup Item. Help information may include the meaning and usage of the item, allowable values, effects of the options, and so on. The Help Area is a 29 character by 11 line section of the 80 x 24 page. The Help Text may have explicit line-breaks within it. When the text is longer than 29 characters, it is also broken to a new line, dividing the text at the last space (blank) character before the 29th character. An unbroken string of more than 29 characters will be arbitrarily wrapped to a new line after the 29th character. Text that extends beyond the end of the 11th line will not be displayed. The Keyboard Command Area is located at the bottom right of the screen and continuously displays help for keyboard special keys and navigation keys.
