Using Menus:
Menus are lists of commands options displayed on a screen by holding down the menu button.
These commands control the action of the program in the currently selected window.
Most Amiga programs have menus for some or all of their functions.
Some menu items have submenus, which are additional related options that appear to the right of the menu item when it is selected. The symbol >> after the item name indicates submenu. If a menu has submenus, select one of the submenu options.
Choosing a main menu item without choosing one of its submenus has no effect.
In addition to the sub-menu symbol, other symbols may appear on the menu: An ellipsis (...) follows the name of menu items that open a requester.
A checkmark in the area to the left of a menu item indicates that the item is an option that is currently selected.
When this area is empty, the option is deselected.
To execute several menu options at once, hold down the menu button and, using the selection button, click on the menu options of your choice.
The menu button can also be used to cancel operations being performed by the selection button, such as drag selection.
Ghosted Menu Items:
If a menu item is not available for a particular operation, it is ghosted or displayed less distinctly than the others.
Canceling an Operation:
Cancel the operation being performed with the selection button by clicking the menu button while still holding down the selection button.
The following operations can be cancelled:

Selecting
Dragging
Drag selection
Changing the size of a window
