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:
“...what a thing it is to lie there all day in the fine breeze, with the pine needles dropping on one, only to return to the hotel at night so hungry that the dinner, however homely, is a fete, and the menu finer reading than the best poetry in the world! Yet we are to leave all this for the glare and blaze of Nice and Monte Carlo; which is proof enough that one cannot become really acclimated to happiness.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
