■ Conventions: Fonts and symbols

Font and symbol conventions are classified as:

General font conventions
Conventions in syntax explanations
Conventions for mathematical expressions

These conventions are described below.

General font conventions

The following table lists the general font conventions:

Font	Convention
Bold	Bold type indicates text in a window, other than the window title. Such text includes menus, menu options, buttons, radio box options, and explanatory labels.

■ Conventions: Version numbers

The version numbers of Hitachi program products are usually written as two sets of two digits each, separated by a hyphen. For example:

Version 1.00 (or 1.0) is written as 01-00.
Version 2.05 is written as 02-05.
Version 2.50 (or 2.5) is written as 02-50.
Version 12.25 is written as 12-25.

The version number might be shown on the spine of a manual as Ver. 2.00, but the same version number would be written in the program as 02-00.
