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:
“The menu was stewed liver and rice, fricassee of bones, and shredded dog biscuit. The dinner was greatly appreciated; the guests ate until they could eat no more, and Elisha Dyer’s dachshund so overtaxed its capacities that it fell unconscious by its plate and had to be carried home.”
—For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
