The Attendant window has six Loop buttons that are used to answer calls.
Each Loop button can handle a single call in progress. The color of the Loop button 
changes depending on the activity. You can show or hide inactive Loop buttons by 
clicking Hide Loop Buttons on the View menu. If they are hidden, the Loop 
buttons appear only when a call occurs. When the Loop Overflow icon appears on 
the Status Bar there are more calls that the six indicated by the Loop buttons.
