This Manual
Boldface words are usually menu items or dialog buttons or fields.
Monospace words usually mean folder or file names or data values.
Where it is not spelled out, please read A | B as “Select item B from the pull-down menu A”. For example, to do basic COGO, after you’ve opened a coordinates file, the instruction Calculation | COGO… means “Choose the Calculation menu then the COGO… item”.
The § symbol before capitalized text (e.g., § Map Traverses) means the text is the name of another web page or printed chapter.
