The revision number in the first line may be different in your case to indicate that you have a more recent delivery. In this menu, and in all subsequent ones, the commands appear in two groups.

  • commands in the first group are specific to each menu
  • commands in the second group H (Help) to repeat the list of choices, Y (Yank) to save the output of the last command to a file that you will be prompted to name, and Q (Quit) to quit appear in all menus, and will be complemented in the Item Menus below by the M (Main) command which returns to the main menu.

By typing one of the letters shown in the Main Menu's first group, you can go to one of the Item Menus: Class, Compile, Feature, System, Profile, and Documentation. Compile enables you to compile a system and execute the result; the next three enable you to obtain information about your project. Profile will enable you to exploit profiling information.
