The following buttons are provided (in addition to the standard buttons):
| Insert the selected task as a command in the menu. | |
| Insert a separating line below the highlighted menu item. | |
| Remove the selected menu item. | |
| Move the selected menu item up. | |
| Move the selected menu item down. |
To define a user menu

The name can be up to 32 characters long and must not contain blanks. When you modify a menu, this text box cannot be modified.

The selected task appears in the Menu items list box. When this list box contains more than one item, the new task is inserted below the highlighted menu item.

After having defined a user menu, the administrator can modify the group properties and add the user menu to the list of allowed objects. The administrator can then modify the user properties to specify which user menus are to be available to a specific user. The user menu will be shown in the menu bar the next time this user starts the terminal application.
A general user only has to define the user menu in the user properties.
