Hot Spots:

A hotspot is an area of the session window on which you can click the left mouse button to execute a command or function. Five types of hotspots are available. They are,
1. PFnn, FPnn, Fnn, and nn Hotspots
2. Point-and-Select (Execute macro) Hotspots
3. Point-and-Select (Enter selected string) Hotspots
4. Point-and-Select (Enter at cursor position) Hotspots
5. Point-and-Select (Connect to Web Site using URL) Hotspots

The Function Key and URL hotspots are active by default, but you must activate the others before you can use them.

You must use a mouse for hotspots - they really provide a way of performing functions with a mouse rather than with keys. To use normal Hotspots, you must double-click.

Hotspots can be used to -

• Simulate function keys
• Execute a macro that has the same name as the word that you select on the screen
• Execute the word that you select
• Simulate the Enter key at the current cursor location
• Connect to a Web site by clicking on a URL that appears on the screen.

Setting Up or Changing Hotspots

> The Assist pull-down menu appears.

2. Choose Hotspots Setup... from the pull-down list.

3. Choose one or more of the different types of hotspot. If you want to have 3-D Hotspots, check the appropriate Show Hotspots box too.

4. Push the OK button.
> The dialog-box disappears and the hotspots you chose are activated.
