With this screen, details of the menu option may be specified.  A
description of the acceptable entries into each field on this
screen is presented below.

Short Name - This field is a unique identifier for 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.

Module - Identifies the module that this menu is referencing and
          working in. Available choices are Data Base, Word
          Processor, Spread Sheet, Communications.  Referencing a
          menu for a different module than the one you are in
          will cause SmartWare to transfer you to the correct
          module to perform the commands off the menu.

# of Choices - This indicates the number of selections available
          on this menu.  This will not change for any of the
          options on this menu.

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

                     document.
          comlist  - command list

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

Command List Title - This field is only used with the menu type
          "comlist", "dataview", "ssview", or "docview".  This
          field is used as a prompt or concise description of the
          command list and is displayed to the left of the
          command list.

Text Background Colour - This field defines the colour to be used
          for the background of the items on the command list or
          menu .  To choose another colour press F6.

          to be used for the items on the command list or menu.

          the box which surrounds box style type menus.

          Note: If the colours are omitted, default colour options
          are used.

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

Audit Usage - This field indicates if the menu is to be audited.
          Every time a user selects an item on an audited menu,
          the details of the occurrence are recorded in a special
          audit log.  This information can be analyzed by using
          the User Management option of the application.

contents, please refer to 3.2.1 Menu and Command List
Characteristics in the Developer's Manual.
