                          Conventions

The instructions in this attachment use the following typographical conventions:

bold      Represents objects on the screen that you click with the mouse pointer, including
          buttons, Internet links, icons, tabs, menu items (e.g., Cancel button, Auctions
          link, Save option in the File menu).

italic         Represents field names or areas of a screen (e.g., Licensee Name field, Applicant
               Information area of a screen).

bold italic    Represents characters that you must type exactly as they appear in the instructions. 
               For example, if you are instructed to type http://www.fcc.gov, you should type all
               of the characters shown in bold italic exactly as they are printed.

Small Caps     Represents keys on the keyboard (e.g., Enter, Ctrl, Esc).
