the two is located on the main Tool Table button bar and the other is
placed in the second menu bar.
To swap these button locations enter the Configuration and go to
UserSetup->CfgTooltableSettings->mainTeachSoftkey.
The value selected here is the button that shows up in the main menu
bar. Refer to the Technical Manual for more information for changing
configuration settings.
