#title "CDF Compression Menu"
The item section of the menu displays a list of the available compressions:
`None', `RLE.0', `HUFF.0', `AHUFF.0', `GZIP...', etc.  One of the compressions
is highlighted.

The trailer section of the menu displays the available functions...

   Select:  Changes the CDF's compression to that which is currently
            highlighted.  This affects the compression used for the
            entire CDF.  The compressions used for the individual
            variables are unaffected.  Selecting certain compressions
            may cause another menu to be displayed in which parameters
            for that compression must be entered.

   Exit:    Exits without changing the CDF's compression.

#title "Variable Sparseness Menu"
The item section of the menu displays a list of the available types of
sparseness: `sRecords.pad' (sparse records on - use pad values for missing
records), `sRecords.prev' (sparse records on - use previous values for
missing records), and `sRecords.no' (sparse records off).  One type of
sparseness is highlighted.

The trailer section of the menu displays the available functions...

   Select:  Applies the currently highlighted sparseness to the variable.
            This affects the sparseness used for this variable only.  The

#title "TextEdit gEntries Menu"
The label displays the name of the gAttribute whose gEntries are being
edited.

The edit section of the menu contains the current gEntries for the
gAttribute with one per line.  Missing gEntries are indicated by a blank
line.  If a gEntry has too many characters to fit in the window it is
truncated (on the window - not in the CDF).  The lines may be edited as
desired.  Note that if more lines (gEntries) exist than can be displayed
in the window they may be scrolled into view.

The trailer section of the menu displays the available functions...

   Update:  Rewrites the gAttribute's gEntries according to the lines
            currently in the window.  Note that blank lines cause gEntry
            numbers to be skipped (or deleted if a gEntry existed).

   Exit:    Exits without changing the gAttribute's gEntries.

#title "CDF Creation Confirmation Menu"
The header section of the menu displays the name of the CDF whose creation
is being confirmed.

The item section of the menu contains three items: <Yes to V3>, <Yes to V2>
and <No>.  One of them will be highlighted.

The trailer section of the menu displays the available functions...

   Enter:   Selects the currently highlighted item.  <Yes to V3> or
            <Yes to V2> causes a CDF to be created.  While <Yes to V3>
            will create a V3.* file, <Yes to V2> will create a backward,
            V2.7 file. A series of one or more prompts will be displayed
            for additional information needed to create the CDF.  <No> exits
