When you click in the menu bar or the tool bars, new windows will open, displaying
information and giving access to editing facilities. These windows are called the Child
Windows. Each child window shows a different type of data. There may be as many
or as few child windows as required. You can change the size and position of the
child windows to what best suits your current job requirements.

The Menu Bar is a standard feature of most Windows ® programs and gives you
access to various displaying and editing functions. Each entry in the menu bar can
be clicked, causing a drop-down menu to show on the screen. Another way of dis-
playing the drop-down menu is to type the underlined letter in the menu bar entry
while holding down the Alt-key.
FIG 3-2. Click the entry in the menu bar to show a drop-down menu.
