FIELD DESCRIPTIONS
SEQ
(Sequence number). This field is usually the
number of the menu option. Sequence number 3
usually corresponds to menu option 3. When
changing or deleting, it is the number you wish to
change or delete. When inserting, the new options
will be inserted before this number.
Some menus have blank lines and subtitles. Each
blank line and subtitle is also a sequence number.
When this happens, the sequence number and menu
option number no longer correspond.
DESCRIPTION This field holds up to 30 characters describing the
menu option. The Dimensions system uses an
upper/lower case style for the standard menus.
Enter the description exactly the way you wish it to
appear as the menu option.
