Roger has been tracking the increase in natural gas prices on the Web. He decided that he’d like to exchange some shares out of the Blue Chip Fund in his retirement
account into a mutual fund that specializes in natural gas. Having researched natural gas on the Web, Roger feels that the Specialty Natural Gas Fund is safe and this
would be a great time to purchase the fund.
Roger is working on his home computer on Wednesday morning. He has about an hour before his tee time, so he decides to make the changes in his retirement account that
he’s been thinking about.
Roger opens Internet Explorer. He clicks Favorites and selects HRWeb.
When the HRWeb home page is loaded, Roger enters his username and password. He could click the GO button but instead he presses Enter to continue.
Roger clicks the Quotes tab to check on the price of the Specialty Natural Gas Fund.
The Quotes screen brings up a list of all the funds available to Roger. It’s difficult to read the screen, and Roger realizes that his wife must have set the text size
to medium. Roger clicks View on the toolbar.
He presses the down arrow key to highlight Text Size and presses Enter. Largest is automatically highlighted, so Roger presses Enter.
Roger needs to scroll down to see the Specialty Funds, but he has now lost track of the cursor. He moves the mouse around but cannot find the pointer. So he presses
the page down key several times until the Specialty Funds are displayed. He sees that Specialty Natural Gas is at $19.62 and has gone up $0.44 since Tuesday.
Roger clicks the Back button to return to the HRWeb home page.
The home page comes up. The tab titles have not been resized to larger text. Roger has trouble finding the Exchange tab and wonders if he should bother to open his
screen magnification software. He decides that it’s too much trouble, and simply leans closer to the screen. He finds the Exchange tab and clicks on it.
The Exchange screen comes up. The first question asks, What source of funds do you want to exchange out of? Roger prefers to use the keyboard instead of the mouse,
since it is sometimes difficult to get the mouse to point to what he wants, so Roger presses the tab key repeatedly until he gets to the account list field. He presses
the down arrow but nothing happens. Grabbing the mouse, Roger tries twice to click the down arrow. He succeeds on the third try, and the list of his accounts appears.
He has two IRA accounts. He presses the down arrow key to highlight the second account in the list.
Roger clicks the Continue button.
The Exchange Out Of screen comes up. Roger clicks the down arrow to see a list of his funds. He owns seven mutual funds. He clicks Blue Chip Fund.
The next question says: Do you want a percentage of the fund or a dollar amount to be exchanged? There are two radio buttons, percent and dollar. After several
unsuccessful attempts to click the small radio button, Roger clicks dollar. The cursor automatically goes to the input field and Roger types 8000.
Roger clicks Continue. The Exchange To screen comes up.
Roger clicks on the drop down arrow and sees a list of the 70 mutual funds available to him. He has difficulty dragging the scroll bar, so he presses the down arrow
key to get to Specialty Natural Gas Fund, which is toward the bottom of the alphabetical list. He selects this fund by pressing enter when it is highlighted.
The screen says, “This exchange will occur at 4:00 PM If you want to cancel this exchange, contact us before 4:00 PM. The fee for this exchange will be $14.27. Do you
accept these terms?” The screen displays two buttons, Accept and Cancel.
Roger clicks Accept.
The confirmation screen appears. There are three buttons: View Contribution, Make another Transaction, and Logout. Roger clicks Logout.
