Perhaps the most familiar type of interface is the 0039 menu which appears on the top of the &stage; window.</para> 0040 0041 <para>Clicking on the menu items gives you a list of commands from which you 0042 can choose the one you want. Many of the commands can also be accessed 0043 directly by holding down &Ctrl; or &Alt; and pressing another key on 0044 your keyboard. In the next section, each of the menu commands is 0045 described in brief.</para> 0046 0047 <sect1 id="toolbars"> 0048 <title>The Toolbars</title> 0049 0050 <sect2 id="manipulating-toolbars"> 0051 <title>Manipulating the Toolbars</title> 0052 0053 <para>In addition to the menus, &stage; also has a toolbar. The 0054 toolbar consists of a collection of icons.

The unlocked toolbar can 0058 be <quote>docked</quote> or attached to any side of the &stage; 0059 window.
