  Menu Keyboard Shortcuts Tip:  If you are running General Ledger programs from another module, you can still use the keyboard shortcuts.  Simply prefix the shortcut with the shortcut for the General Ledger menu, [ALT] [g]. For example, to run the General Ledger File Maintenance Menu from the Payroll module, the keyboard shortcut is [ALT] [g] [m]. To activate the General Ledger menu in another module, the G/L Application Control must be set up for the module during installation.
