# System Utilities

Command Line Utilities |

The classic utilities sub-system comprises a set of system utilities that may be called directly from the Command line. These are all accessed using a leading * asterisk (e.g. the character-based editor is invoked by entering CALL "*E"). You can also access these utilities via the F5 function key or by issuing a CALL "**", which displays a set of menu-driven commands at the top of the console:

Selection:
Calculator Files Phone Utilities Edit Quit

This character-based menu can be navigated using cursor keys or by moving the mouse pointer (if available). Press Enter (or left click the mouse) to select one of the options. The Utilities option (*u) directs you to a subsequent menu of character-based utilities, grouped under the following major categories:

System Utilities:

Where:

| Files | Options to create, delete, rename, view, update or otherwise manipulate data files (*uf).

| Programs | Options to create, delete, rename, edit, list or otherwise manipulate program files (*up).

Select Quit or press the Esc or F4 keys to exit an opened utility and to move back through the main menu.
