Abstract
A menu system incorporates a display surface having sets of buttons displayed thereon. Some sets of buttons are operative to initiate various functions and other sets of buttons are operative to define which functions, from a monolithic set of functions, are made selectable at a given time. Accordingly, the system provides a generic menu system which can easily handle hundreds of menu options in a way which is easy to learn and master.
