  2. From the menu that appears, select the command to add to the Q.A.T or click on More Commands to open the … Options dialog box that lists all the commands that can be placed on the Q.A.T.
  3. If the dialog box has been opened:


    1. From the Choose Commands from drop-down list, make a selection. A list of commands displays.
    2. Make a selection from this list of commands.
    3. Click on the [Add] button. The selected command is placed in the list of command buttons displayed on the Q.A.T.
    4. If desired, used the Move Up and Move Down arrows to rearrange the commands that appear on the Q.A.T.
