Menu Operations

The method of menu operation is basically
the same when using a mouse with an
external monitor, but with mouse clicks in
place of button presses. There is no
difference in the menu control block
operation described here.
However, since the monitor has no knobs
for adjusting the parameters in the menu
control block, for details of operations
corresponding to these knob operations,
see the section below, "Operation With a
Mouse" (page 132).
