list</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>Menu lists are used to select one item from a list and do nothing else;
the Options command is not available when a menu list is being browsed (the
Options menu itself is a menu list).</p>
<p>If a high-priority event, such as an incoming call, occurs when a menu
list is open, the list is cancelled and the new event takes control. These
lists are often displayed inside a pop-up window.</p>
<p>The default keypad functions in a menu list are the following:</p>
<table id="GUID-00EF343D-893A-4EDB-987A-DB5FD2D72F40"><title>Default key events
