Menu (computing)
In computing and telecommunications, a menu is a list of options or commands presented to an operator by a computer or communications system.
Choices given from a menu may be selected by the operator by a number of methods (called interfaces):
- entering the identifier for the desired menu item from a keyboard
- positioning a cursor or reverse video bar by using a keyboard, mouse, or remote control D-pad
- using an electromechanical input device, such as a light pen
- touching the display screen with a finger
- speaking to a voice-recognition system

Famous quotes containing the word menu:
“Any moral philosophy is exceedingly rare. This of Menu addresses our privacy more than most. It is a more private and familiar, and at the same time, a more public and universal word, than is spoken in parlor or pulpit nowadays.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
