Pop-up menus

Use pop-up menus to choose an action for the selected item. For example, you can use the pop-up menu in the Contact list to quickly delete a contact, make a copy of a contact, or send an e-mail message to a contact. The actions on the pop-up menus vary from program to program. To open a pop- up menu, tap and hold the stylus on the item that you want to perform the action on. When the menu appears, lift the stylus, and then tap the action you want to perform. Tap anywhere outside the menu to close the menu without performing an action.
