- Study name—Located on the left side of the title line
- Panel name—Located in the center of the title line
- Release number—On the Main Menu
Command line—The line where you enter UIE/VM commands or CMS commands.
This line is identified by the COMMAND===> prompt. On menu panels, the prompt is OPTION===>. The command line is located at the top of the panel.
