Menu Bar 

Groups

Lists the currently defined groups or menu levels. This shows existing <Top Level> menu definitions, if any. If subordinates are added to a menu item, a menu expansion symbol (+) appears next to the menu item.

Example:

   A "&Sales" menu item with the subordinate "&Commissions" would display in the Groups list box as "+ &Sales".

Contents Of

Lists the sub-menus that belong to a menu's group. This allows you to add subordinates to menu groups (up to eight levels). Double-click on an existing item or group to edit its properties.

Save

Paste

Pastes a copied/cut item or group to the highlighted position. Items or groups can be pasted to another level in the same Menu Bar or to a Menu Bar on a different panel.
