To create a pull-down menu
1 Click Manage tab ➤ Customization panel ➤ User Interface.
2 In the Customize User Interface Editor, Customize tab, in the
Customizations In <file name> pane, right-click Menus. Click New Menu.
A new menu (named Menu1) is placed at the bottom of the Menus tree.
3 Do one of the following:
■ Enter a new name over the default name Menu1.
■ Right-click Menu1. Click Rename. Enter a new menu name.
■ Click Menu1, wait, and click again over the menu’s name again to
edit its name in-place.
4 Select the new menu in the tree view, and update the Properties pane as
follows:
■ In the Description box, enter a description for the menu.
■ In the Aliases box, an alias is automatically assigned to the new menu,
based on the number of menus already loaded. For example, if the
alias assignment is POP12, eleven menus are already loaded. View or
edit the alias.
■ (Optional) If the name change is based upon a DIESEL expression,
the DIESEL expression should be included in the Name box.
5 In the Command List pane, drag the command to a location just below
the menu in the Customizations In <file name> pane.
