Menus
Menus are an important part of the design of a Macintosh application. Menus let users view or choose an item from a list of choices or commands that your application provides. You design your menus according to the tasks or actions your application performs. All applications should support the Apple, File, Edit, Help, Keyboard, and Application menus. Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 shows the File menu of the SurfWriter application.System software makes it easy for you to create pull-down, hierarchical, and pop-up menus. The chapter "Menu Manager" in this book describes how to create your application's menus, set up your menu bar, display menus, and respond to the user's choice of an item from a menu.
