menu item you want to use.
Create and Manage Pull-down Menus
You can create pull-down menus, and add commands and sub-menus for
display on the Mac OS menu bar.
You can create and modify menus to display and organize the commands to
best match the way you work. Commands are added to a menu from the
Commands list in the Customize dialog box. Once commands are added to a
menu, you can reposition commands, and organize commands using separators
and sub-menus.
Sub-menus and Separators
Sub-menus are used to organize and group similar commands together. You
create sub-menus in much the same way that you create a menu. Separators
can also be inserted to group similar commands without adding an additional
navigation level. There is no clear decision that can be made as to when you
might use a sub-menu over a separator. Some possible reason why you might
consider to use a sub-menu over a separator is the current length of the menu
and how frequently a command might be used.
