3. Supply the editing characters (for example, slashes as date field separators).
4. Use default values for fields on entry screens.
5. Design an inquiry (or change or delete) program so that the user needs to enter only

6. Provide keystrokes for selecting pull-down menu options.
7. Use radio buttons and drop-down lists to control displays of new Web pages or to
change Web forms.
