C3270/Menu

c3270 and wc3270 have a menu bar at the top of the screen, with three entries: File, Options and Keypad.

The menus can be expanded by clicking on them with the mouse, or with the following keys:

Within these menus, the cursor keys operate intuitively. The ↑ and ↓ keys move between entries. When on the top line, the ← and → keys switch between the menus, though it is impossible to navigate out of the Keypad menu. The Enter key selects an entry. Pressing any other key closes the menu.
