The DDD Menu Bar gives you access to all DDD functions.

     processes, and sessions, printing graphs, recompiling, as well as
     exiting DDD.

`Edit'
     Perform standard editing operations, such as cutting, copying,
     pasting, and killing selected text.  Also allows editing DDD
     options and preferences.

`View'
     Allows accessing the individual DDD windows.

`Program'
     Perform operations related to the program being debugged, such as
     starting and stopping the program.

`Commands'
     Perform operations related to DDD commands, such as accessing the
     command history or defining new commands.

`Status'
     Examine the program status, such as the stack traces, registers, or
     threads.

`Source'
     Perform source-related operations such as looking up items or
     editing breakpoints.

`Data'
     Perform data-related operations such as editing displays or
     layouting the display graph.

     this menu is disabled.

   There are two ways of selecting an item from a pull-down menu:

   * Select an item in the menu bar by moving the cursor over it and
     click _mouse button 1_.  Then move the cursor over the menu item
     you want to choose and click left again.

   * Select an item in the menu bar by moving the cursor over it and
     click and hold _mouse button 1_.  With the mouse button depressed,
     move the cursor over the menu item you want, then release it to
     make your selection.

   The menus can also be "torn off" (i.e. turned into a persistent
window) by selecting the dashed line at the top.

   If a command in the pull-down menu is not applicable in a given
situation, the command is "disabled" and its name appears faded.  You
cannot invoke items that are faded.  For example, many commands on the
`Edit' menu appear faded until you select text on which they are to
operate; after you select a block of text, edit commands are enabled.
