The Accounts Menu
Customer Account Information

The Accounts menu provides you with point-and-click access to customer account information. When you select one of these commands, a list of your accounts appears in alphabetical order. Scroll through the list to the account you want, and click on it to select it. If the desired account does not appear in the list, type in the account number.
If the command also requires a symbol or a date range, you will be prompted to provide it.
The commands in the accounts menu are:
