The 'ARB_Parsimony' and 'ARB_NT' windows are similar. 'ARB_ Parsimony' contains a subset of 'ARB_NT' functions and in addition some tools for tree reconstruction and evaluation.
Clicking on the prompts in the horizontal menu bar in the upper part of the window displays the corresponding submenus. The submenus are also available using keyboard shortcuts by pressing the meta and a letter key indicated in the main menu bar by underlining.
