  Adding Another Menu:
    Let's add another menu to our database and let's create two menu items
    to go with our new menu. To do this we need to tell the menu link
    control file the name of the new menu. Once again we will use the
    !menu: command.

    Let's call our new menu Alphabetical Listing of all CD's. Within this
    Alphabetical Listing of all CD's menu we will create two menu items.
    The first called Classics and second called Live Rock.

    Let's add three lines at the end of the link file, so that it reads:

    !name: Compact Disc Collection                                      
                                                                        
    !credits:                                                           
         Compact Disc Collection

              Your Name

    !menu: Favorite CD's                                                
           Classics   classics.eho                                      
           Live Rock  live_rk.eho                                       
                                                                        
    !menu: Alphabetical Listing of all CD's                             
           Classics             class_all.eho                           
           Rock                 Rock_all.eho                            

    Now you have a Hypertext Database with two menus, each with two menu
    items.
