Select Action Dialog Box
Getting thereFrom this dialog box, you can assign an action or a function to a mouse button, keyboard key, hotspot, or menu item. An action can be any action you can perform within Reflection, such as sending keystrokes, running a macro, executing a menu command, navigating to a recorded host screen page, transferring a file, or printing.
Actions are divided into categories listed in the task pane on the left, and the actions or functions available for assignment to an item depends on the selected category. Some functions also require additional information, such as the keystrokes to send for a Send Key command.
The settings for Other Action appear by default. A description for each task-pane item follows.
