The symbols on the right are the keyboard (ie non-menu) equivalents. The "!"
refers to ESCAPE, so "ESCAPE f g" does the same as choosing that menu item.

This may also clear up some confusion from a recent poster who complained that
you are *forced* to wade through menus in FrameMaker. On the contrary, that is
what I like about FM; a relatively intuitive menu system for learning and
for infrequent commands, but keyboard equivalents for *everything*. You can
also define keyboard macros that can combine long series of commands into a
single keystroke.

I have no connection with Frame except as a satisfied user.
