Menu bars and manual commands differbased on the application and the area of the application in which you’re working. For example, in the Memo Pad, the Memo Listscreen and the Memo screen display different menus.Menu commands for each application are described in the corresponding application’s chapter, with the exception of the Editmenu. For information on Edit menu commands, see “Using the Edit Menu” in Chapter 5.Most menu commands have an equivalent Graffiti® 2 command stroke, which is similar to keyboard shortcuts used to executecommands on computers. To use Graffiti 2 menu commands, menus must be closed.To display a menu bar and choose a command:1. Do one of the following:• Open an application (such as the Date Book); then tap the Menu icon. Select the desired command from themenu.• Tap the inverted tab in the upper left corner of the screen.
