Working with Menus
A program m_nu, like a restaurant menu, contains a list of items. When you
select from a menu, the program begins that function or activates that feature.
When you open a menu, it appears on your screen and you select from it.
Menu items that are not currently available appear dimmed; if you select a
dimmed menu item, nothing happens. For example, in Addressbook, Copy
Record is dimmed until you f',st view an existing record.
