When you ADD a new menu, it is inserted in sequence after the current menu or as the first menu if there is no current menu. This sequence defines the order of menus that you access with the NEXT and PREVIOUS function keys in menudef. When menu starts, it displays the first menu in the sequence (unless menu is invoked with the -f firstmenu flag).

In ADD mode, the function keys are:
