Navigating Mixtikl is pretty straightforward, and how you do it depends on whether you have the desktop, pocket pc or mobile phone versions.

Shown in the screenshot, left, are the Desktop menus (at the top) and the main central application area. When running on mobile phone (and occasionally on Pocket PC) there are also soft menus at the bottom, and these provide context sensitive shortcuts so you don't have to go through the menus every time (or screen tap).

Backspace

Some phones have a back key, and on some occasions this can be used to go back to a previous screen.
