<p>Columbus, Ohio - October 11, 2000 - Power On Software announced today that<br />
it had released an update to ACTION Menus, the best-selling Macintosh menu<br />
configuration utility. ACTION Menus affords complete control over menu<br />
customization by providing a flexible array of options that allow users to<br />
be more productive. Also available as part of the Eddy-Award nominated<br />
ACTION Utilities collection that includes ACTION Files, ACTION WYSIWYG<br />
and ACTION GoMac, ACTION Menus enables users to create, customize and<br />
configure menus so that a user's most frequently used files, folders,<br />
applications, and volumes are instantly available.</p>
<p>The update, version 1.0.1, incorporates several improvements aimed at<br />
enhancing operation with Mac OS 9 and G4 Macintoshes. The ability to assign<br />
keyboard commands to virtually any application's menus has been improved so<br />
that items designated as "favorites" are included in the functionality.<br />
Also improved is compatibility with the Multifunction menu Items and the<br />
ability to display documents in the recent Items menus.</p>
<p>Bob Levitus, noted Macintosh expert and author of Mac OS 9 for Dummies has<br />
observed, "ACTION Menus is the greatest menu enhancement that money can<br />
buy." Macintosh efficiency expert and MacCentral columnist Deborah<br />
Shadovitz agrees, noting that, "ACTION Menus is part of my must-have Mac<br />
utilities."</p>
<p>Features of ACTION Menus include:</p>
<p>* Addition of custom menus that include a Recent Applications Menu, a<br />
Windows Menu, a Documents Menu, a Server Menu, a Volume Menu, and a Recent<br />
Documents and Folders Menu. Enhanced functionality is also provided to the<br />
Apple Menu and the Applications Menu</p>
<p>* Full Drag and Drop Support: Drag files and folders into menus and<br />
eliminate the need to tediously dig through piles of folders buried deep on<br />
a drive. Also open files by dragging to the application in the menu</p>
<p>* Recent Applications Menu: Keeps track of the most recently used<br />
applications. Provides the ability to permanently add any application to<br />
the menu with a single keystroke</p>
<p>* Enhanced Apple Menu: Provides drag and drop functionality in the Apple<br />
menu so that items can be dragged from anywhere and dropped onto the Apple<br />
menu</p>
<p>* Open Windows Menu: Keeps track of all open windows in an application</p>
<p>* Recent Documents and Folders Menu: Application specific menus provide<br />
immediate access to current application's most recently used files and<br />
folders. These menus are instantly updated every time the user switches<br />
into or out of the application</p>
<p>* Server Menu: Provides multi-level access to recently mounted servers</p>
<p>* Mounted Volume Menu: Provides five-folder deep access to recent volumes</p>
<p>* Applications menu: Adds hierarchical menus listing all open windows in<br />
every running application</p>
<p>* Finder Commands added to the Applications menu and offer option to Show<br />
Finder Only and Quit All</p>
<p>* Custom Menus: Users can add up to four custom Application menus and four<br />
custom System menus</p>
<p>* Customizable Smart Items and Separators: Automate the order in which the<br />
menus display information and add user definable category separators for<br />
faster access to specific types of information</p>
<p>* User-definable keyboard commands: Assign keystrokes to instantly access<br />
favorite items or permanently remove an item or group of items. Even<br />
replace an application's keyboard commands with ones you prefer</p>
<p>* Multi-Action Commands: Permits the user to perform menu commands on<br />
multiple items simultaneously. Open, Close or Get information on several<br />
files folders or documents without having to repeatedly go back to menus</p>
<p>The new version, available immediately, has a suggested retail price of<br />
$39.95 and is available from leading retailers including CompUSA. A<br />
downloadable version is available from Power On Software for $29.95 and the<br />
update is free to all owners of prior versions of ACTION Menus or the<br />
ACTION Utilities bundle</p>
