Classic Client - It can be used to open Map, Paperdoll, Backpack, Journal, Chat Window and Help Menu. Left clicking then holding the mouse over the menu (as opposed to the buttons on the menu) allows you to "drag" it around the screen by moving the cursor - release when you've got it where you want it. Most other displays in the game can likewise be dragged (allowing you to customize the interface to your choosing). Usually displays can be closed by right clicking them.

Map

Clicking on Map will bring up a small map (or "Radar" view) of your immediate area. Double clicking on Map in the menu bar or on the map itself will make it larger and subsequent clicks will toggle it's size. To remove the map right click on it. The radar may alternatively be opened by holding Alt + R.

Paperdoll

Paperdoll brings up an image of your character along with more buttons beside it. On the paperdoll you may dress or undress your character, set game options, log out, review your Quests, check your Guild status, toggle War or Peace mode, and display the Status Bar. To close the paperdoll, right click it. The paperdoll may alternatively be opened by pressing Alt + P.

Inventory

Clicking on Inventory will reveal your backpack. If you have the paperdoll and backpack open, you can equip/unequip your character by dragging items such as a sword or spellbook from one display to the other. The backpack may alternatively be opened by pressing Alt + I.

Journal

Clicking on Journal will reveal a small scroll of text. This helps keep track of conversations and of characters or creatures entering your line of sight. To scroll text back and forth, left click and hold the ribbon to the right of the scroll and move it up or down. To enlarge or shrink the journal scroll, left click and hold the tab on the base of the scroll and move that up or down. The journal may alternatively be opened by pressing Alt + J.

Chat

Clicking on Chat opens a chat window. From here you can join a conference, if one is available, or create your own. Frankly, the Chat screen is seldom used in UO as most players either talk directly to one another, use guild or party chat, or 3rd party programs such as ICQ or Teamspeak.

Help

The Help button brings up another menu. The first option is for general questions about the game which will bring up the Knowledge Base for you to explore. The second option is for when those odd occasions where you find you are unable to leave an area. This will teleport you to a city, most likely Britain. The third option is for reporting harassment and is only for extreme examples. The "Other" option is there if you need in-game assistance that cannot be addressed by the Knowledge Base or by other players. The last option is for promotional codes that you may have received with your game or have purchased from EA's online store.

Brings up 'The Codex of Wisdom' which gives further assistance on gameplay topics.
