Introduction
Menu is a utility that makes it possible to launch applications and open files simply by
tapping a button on the screen of your Pocket PC. It even lets you assign the
application or file you want to each button.
Up to 10 menu pages
You can create up to 10 separate menu screens called pages. Each menu page can
have up to 12 buttons, which means you can group applications and files as you like.
Submenus with the touch of a button
In addition to applications and files, you can also assign submenus to buttons. Tapping
a button that has a submenu assigned to it displays the corresponding submenu
window, which can contain up to six application or file buttons. Submenus can be used
to group related applications or buttons on a single submenu window.

Assign Applications command creates one for you automatically, unless you
already have 10 menu pages. An error message appears if you already have 10
pages.
