Working with the Toolbar
In all application programs, there is a toolbar. The Command Buttons on the Toolbar are commonly used commands in the system, such as store, delete, print. These commands can be initiated simply by clicking on the appropriate buttons. The Toolbar also contains buttons which help accessing data within a record or navigating within a file.
Depending on the run of the program, the respective buttons can be active or inactive, i.e. the button is shaded if the command is not executable.
