There is a Main Menu of Bloomberg Functions for each security. This menu lists out some key functions codes for you to choose from.
Function codes are shortcuts that provide specific information and functions for the instruments, and they are shown in capital letters on the menu (you can always type CU<GO> to go back to this menu).
