Creating New Nodes
Each node type also contains properties unique to its type. For more details on each node type, all operation nodes are described in this section in the order that they appear on the PPG toolbar and the PPG menubar.
Menu Nodes
A Menu node presents a group of options on the portable’s screen and allows the user to choose one of those options by pressing a function key. The porta- ble’s function keys can be used with or without the shift key, allowing for a total of eight selectable menu options.
