How do I set how functions appear in
the menus?
Within
Optimum, you can customise the names of the menus, and also the
name of items that appear in a menu.
For each
function that you want to appear in any menu, you need to
allocate a code to the program name, and set what you want to
appear as the function title in the menu listing and in the
Info-Bar. This allows you to name the functions so that they fit
in with your own processes.
