This is how we use the Menu Editor:

 In the topmost textbox ‘Caption’ of the figure, we type the ‘Caption’ of the menu, as
the user will be seeing it.

 In the next textbox ‘Name’ of the figure, we type the ‘Name’ of the menu, as the
computer will be seeing it.
 ‘Caption’ and ‘Name’ mean the same as we know; ‘Caption’ is the visible portion,
‘Name’ is for coding of the application.
 The ‘Index’ specifies the index (or subscript) for the menu. This is required if we are
creating a menu array (an array of menus).
