Lists can be scrolled through by one of three methods:

� VCR control in lower-left corner of list (best)

� Keyboard when list is focused upon: Up, Down, Page Up, Page Down, Ctrl + Page Up, Ctrl + Page Down

� Scrollbar located on the right-side of list. Please note that when a list is large, this scroll bar will not always produce accurate results due to paged loading. This is where only a subset of items (one page) are loaded rather than the entire file. Page-loading gives the fastest performance possible, but it is not possible to accurately determine the scrollbar�s relative location within the file. We recommend using the VCR or keyboard on lists with over 10 pages of information.

Lists can be sorted using the �sort tabs� located along the top of the list, or by clicking on the field headers (the labels for each column). We recommend using the �sort tabs� wherever possible for fastest performance.

An item in a list can be located using the �quick locator field� located at the bottom-left-hand corner of the window. Click on the list and begin typing � as each letter is entered, the closest match in the current order is highlighted. For example, when viewing the list of albums in artist order, typing �MCCART� may bring up albums by �McCartney, Paul�. Alternate method: You can also click directly on the locator field; the closest match is not presented until you leave the locator field, however.
