This chapter tells
you what menus are, how to display them and choose things from them, and how
to
type in
answers when the computer asks you to be more specific about what
you
want.
What is a menu? A menu in computer jargon is similar to a menu in a restaurant - it's a list of things to
choose from. Instead of having to remember what you can have, and how to ask for it,
you just point at what you want on the menu and select it. This is the main way of
doing things in the Archimedes desktop.
Using menus Click the middle mouse button to display a menu. The menu displayed will depend on
where the pointer is on the screen at the time, whether the icon has been selected, and
also on what you are doing at the time.
Use the directory window of Applications disc 1 to practise displaying menus.
