The Main Menu is the first menu displayed in the Menu
Options Window, and is the highest-level menu from which 
all other menus are activated.

CREATE allows you to create geometric entities in a 
variety of ways.

EDIT allows you to edit the previously created entities.

DETAIL allows you to enhance your entity or layout. For
example, you can dimension an entity, add text to the
layout, and then reposition the text.

X-FORM allows you to transform or extend one entity to
another, rotate, scale, mirror, or project an entity.

FILES allows you to save a part file, make a part or 
pattern file, or access CADL files or macros.

DISPLAY allows you to perform a redraw, pan or zoom,
manipulate the axes or viewports, alter the views, change
levels, activate a grid or snap, and turn on cursor
tracking.

CONTROL allows you to verify construction information 
about a part, work with construction views, change your 
coordinate system, print or plot, and modify such 
attributes as color, line type, line width, and pen 
number.

DELETE allows you to delete entities by selecting from the
Selection Menu option or by deleting a certain level.

APPLIC lets you directly access third-party applications 
for use with CADKEY. You can access applications created
