Short name - Uniquely identifies the menu.  This name can not be
        duplicated for any other menu or command list.  The name
        is used to reference this file for information when the
        menu choice is selected.  You may not change this option.

Module - Identifies the office automation module that is loaded
        in the background when this menu is shown.  Available
        choices are Data Base, Word Processor, Spread Sheet, and
        Communications.  You may not change this option.

# of Choices - This indicates the number of selections available
        on this menu.

Type - Identifies the menu type.  The available options are:

        menu     - standard box-style menu
        dataview - command list, that when activated loads a data
                   base

        docview  - command list, that when activated loads a

        all choices are present.

Description - This is the field that contains the description
        that will appear on the menu or command list of the
        application.

Action - This field contains the action to be performed by the
        highlighted menu item in an encoded format.

Object - This field contains the item on which the action will be
        performed.  For example, if the Action contains an "M",
        which stands for "call a Menu", this field would contain
        the short name of the menu to be called.

Function - The contents of this field supplement the information
        in the Object field. The use of this field varies widely
        depending on the Action.

Autohelp - This field contains the help line that is displayed on
        the bottom of the screen when this menu item is
        highlighted.  This is the only field that can be modified
        and is used to provide users with context sensitive help.

Help Text Pointer - This field contains the file name of the help
        text file associated with the current item.
