Hewlett Packard System Administration Manager
(HP-UX 9000 - SAM)


You obviously have to run SAM in character mode on Character-based Terminals.
You then use the Arrow Keys to move up and down through the list,
pressing Enter to Select another menu (->) or pressing the Spacebar to Select the item.
You then press the Tab Key to move to the Menu and Enter to Select the Menu Item.

However, if you are running an X-Window Manager, you can choose to run the SAM GUI, instead.
(Note that you can force SAM to start in GUI mode by starting 'samx' rather then just 'sam'.)


Either way, the functionality between the two is identical, so we will demonstrate using GUI.
