The order of the Add statements for a menu bar determines which menus are in which logical groups. Menus
added in statements before the first separator is added belong in the FIle group. Menus added between the first
and second separator statements belong to the Edit group. Menus added between the second and third
separator statements belong to the Container group, and so forth.
In the menus.cfg file, the order of the statements which add items to the !MakerMainMenu bar determines the
logical groupings shown above. The statements which add the menus and separators to this menu bar are inter-
spersed with other Add statements that add menu items to the menus and their submenus. The lines that define
the !MakerMainMenu menu bar are shown below, without the intervening Add statements for the other
menus.

Rearranging menu items
You can rearrange menus on the menu bar and menu items on a menu. You can also move a menu item from
one menu to another. However, you cannot move the Help and Window menus. In the following statements,
ItemID refers either to a menu identifier or to a command identifier.
You can rearrange items on a menu with a combination of statements. The first statement is always an Order
statement. Embedded in this statement is another statement that specifies the exact location in the menu to
place the item. The following examples show how to do this.
To put an item first on a menu, use the following statement:
MenuID1.ItemID
<Order
To put an item last on a menu, use the following statement:
MenuID1.ItemID
<Order
In the above statements, MenuID1 is the identifier of the menu that contains the item (menu or command) you
want to move. ItemID is the identifier of the item you want to move. MenuID2 is the identifier of the menu to
which you to want to move the item.
If you are moving an item to a different place on the same menu, MenuID1 and MenuID2 will be the same
identifier. For example, to move the Footnote command to the top of the Special menu, use the following
statement:
<Order SpecialMenu.Foot note <First SpecialMenu>>
To put the Special menu last on the menu bar (for complete menus), use the following statement:
MenuID2
<First >>
MenuID2
<L a s t > >
