Where a menu option can be referenced for an update, the following convention is used: Menu Name/Opt/Opt/Option Text.  Menu Name refers to the first menu displayed when you start Pacioli/400 normally.  /Opt indicates that you are to take that menu option, or options in succession.  NOTE: you will not see the option on the menu if you are not licensed to that option or if you are not authorized to that function within a licensed application.  /Option Text refers to the final menu option for the function with the update. For example PACIOLI/1/1 Work with Company Setup tells you to take option 1 from menu PACIOLI and then take option 1 (if shown) from menu PXAMNU.
