the menus of each application are illustrated in the section on that application in chapter 4. the edit menu is described in "editing records" in chapter 4.
to open the menu bar:
1. open an application (such as memo pad).
2. do one of the following:
tap the menu icon
.tap on the inverted title area at the top of the screen.
in this example, three menus are available: record, edit, and options. the record menu is selected and contains the commands new memo, delete memo, and beam memo.
choosing a menu
after you open the menu bar for an application, tap the menu that contains the command you want to use.
the menus and menu commands that are available depend on the application that is currently open. also, the menus and menu commands vary depending on which part of the application you're currently using. for example, in memo pad, the menus are different for the memo list screen and the memo screen.
graffiti menu commands
most menu commands have an equivalent graffiti command stroke, which is similar to the keyboard shortcuts used to execute commands on computers. the command letters appear to the right of the command names.
draw the command stroke anywhere in the graffiti area. when you draw the command stroke, the command toolbar appears just above the graffiti writing area to indicate that you are in command mode.
the command toolbar displays context sensitive menu commands for the current screen. for example, if text is selected the menu icons displayed may be undo, cut, copy, and paste. tap on an icon to select the command, or immediately write the corresponding command letter for an appropriate command in the graffiti writing area.
for example, to choose select all in the edit menu, draw the command stroke, followed by the letter "s."
command mode is only active for a short time, so you must tap an icon or write the command letter immediately to choose the menu command.

to display an online tip:
1. tap the tips icon
.2. after you review the tip, tap done.
