Using the Menu Bar

The menu bar is the line of titles across the top of the main Prism window.

Each title is associated with a pulldown menu, from which you can perform actions within Prism.

Keyboard accelerators consist of the Control key plus a function key; you press both at the same time to perform the action. The keyboard accelerator for a menu selection is displayed next to the name of the selection; if nothing is displayed, there is no accelerator for the selection.
