  Menus

  Using DECwindows menus, you can perform editing operations with the mouse,
  instead of having to type commands or press defined keys.

  Steps:

     To use a pull-down menu, do the following:

        1.  Point to the name of a menu in the menu bar.
            Press and hold M1 to display the menu.

        2.  Drag the mouse to the item you want and release M1.

     To use a pop-up menu, do the following:

        1.  Press and hold M3 to display the pop-up menu (see usage notes
            below).

        2.  Drag the mouse to the item you want and release the mouse
            button.

  Usage notes:

  o  Menu items with an ellipsis (...) display a dialog box for entering
     additional information, such as a file name, search string, or other
     parameters---see help on Dialog Boxes.

  o  Menu items with a right arrow ([->) are submenus---you drag the mouse
     to the right to pull down the submmenu, and then drag the mouse to the
     command you want and release the mouse.

  o  You can use menus in an easier way that does not require pressing,
     dragging, and releasing the mouse button on the desired menu item.
     Instead, do the following:
        1.  Click the mouse button to post the menu. A posted menu remains
            visible and prevents further keyboard activity until you dismiss
            the menu.
        2.  Move the mouse to the item you want.
        3.  Click the mouse button to activate the desired item. Clicking on
            a menu item that is a submenu posts the submenu. You then move
            the mouse to the item you want in the submenu, and click on that
            item to activate it.

 o  EVE has two pop-up menus depending on whether you selected text:

       Noselect Pop-up              Select Pop-up
     +-------------------+       +-------------------+
     | Select            |       | Reset             |
     | Select All        |       | Capitalize Word   |
     | Restore Character |       | Uppercase Word    |
     | Restore Word      |       | Lowercase Word    |
     | Restore Line      |       | Find Next         |
     | Restore Sentence  |       | Fill Range        |
     | Restore Selection |       | Cut               |
     | Find Next         |       | Copy              |
     | Fill Paragraph    |       | Open Selected     |
     | Center Line       |       | Find Selected     |
     | Paste             |       +-------------------+
     | Replace ...       |
     | Mark ...          |
     | Go To ...         |
     | Include ...       |
     +-------------------+

 o  The status line is also a kind of menu. Clicking M1 on the buffer name
  puts your next buffer into the window (same as the NEXT BUFFER command).
  Clicking M1 on one of the other indicators toggles the respective setting
  (for example, to change from insert mode to overstrike). See help on
  Status Line.
