ABSTRACT:
A method, system and program for including selections in the menu bar that are icons. The support for menus containing icons includes an algorithm in the memory of a processor that presents a menu bar with imbedded icons. The icons can be selected to present nested levels of menu driven functions that are associated with the particular icons. From the menu, a user can directly perform nested, hierarchial operations associated with the icon upon another icon or other objects on a display.
