All HP Easytime/XL menus appear on the menu bar. The menu
bar appears directly below the title bar. Each menu contains a list
of available tasks (menu items) that let you determine what action
to take next. You can also access the Main menu
from the menu bar on any HP Easytime/XL screen.
Figure 2-5 “File Management Screen” illustrates the menus on the File
Management screen.
