Using the Keyboard

MAS90 KEYBOARD CONVENTIONS

When entering accounting data rapidly, many users prefer to keep their hands on the keyboard rather than use the mouse to move around the screen. This can especially be true for users that have converted from a DOS interface to a Windows GUI Interface. Some find that their data entry tasks are faster if they use the keyboard conventions over clicking the mouse. Below I have outlined the MAS 90 keystrokes and their mouse click equivalents:
