Move Up, Move Down, New Sub-menu
Use these commands to move the selected menu entry one position up or down the list and insert a new sub-menu above the selected entry. You can add commands or further sub-menus.
Rename
This command allows you to rename your sub-menus.
Apply, Save All Changes, Revert To Saved, Revert To Original
Apply applies the changes; Save All Changes saves all menu changes; Revert To Saved discards all settings and reverts to the most recently saved menu structure; Revert To Original reactivates the standard menu settings, which are permanently stored in the program (the factory settings). Changing to a new menu will apply all changes to the current menu.
