I have three questions:
I have seen that 'How to Select Your Preferred Editor' from the
'FileMan' tutorial at the website www.hardhats.org .
In the tutorial, it firstly said :
=====================================
At any menu prompt, enter "TBOX" to go to the User's Toolbox menu.
=====================================
1. But when I enter "TBOX", there's none. So how to go to the User's
Toolbox menu?

Another problem: how to Switching to Another Editor While Editing?
In the tutorial, it said:
=============================================================================
both the Screen Editor and the Line Editor allow you to do this:

* In the Screen Editor, press <PF1>A and choose the editor to
which you wish to switch.

* In the Line Editor, choose the Utilities in Word processing
option. Then choose Editor Change at the "Edit Option:" prompt, and
choose the editor to which you wish to switch.
=================================================================================================
2. what's the <PF1>A represent? Is it a key?
3. How to choose the Utilities in Word processing option?
thanks.

Note that you titled this E-mail : 

How to choose 'Screen Man' form when editing?


Since ScreenMan (which allows someone to edit several fields at the same time that are in a FORM or BLOCK in a  full screen  fashion) is not the same as the Screen Editor (which is used to edit a word processing field),your question is actually confusing.

That being said, did you try using the option using the "jump syntax" i.e. ^User's Toolbox

That should work if you don't have TBOX as a synonym on the menu.
