[MENU BAR]

[File]

       This menu provides the following functions:

	    <Read Data> This option allows to read in 
	    <observational> data from a file, which are 
	    required for fitting a model. For the 
	    <format> of the file, please see the manual 
	    or the files included in the distribution.

	    <Reset Data Memory> Before reading in data for 
	    a new binary star, you should use this button 
	    to delete <all> data for the current binary, 
	    otherwise you would have a mixture of data for 
	    different stars in memory.
	    It is not possible to selectively delete only
	    part of the data.

	    <Read Configuration> Allows you to read in 
	    a file defining the geometry of a binary 
	    system. For the <format> of the file, 
	    please see the manual or the files included in 
	    the distribution. <Note> that the latter 
	    include commands to read data, thus you should 
	    use <Reset Data Memory> before using this option.

	    <Write Configuration> This will write the 
	    current geometry of the binary system (including 
	    spots etc.) to a file for later use. 
	    Commands for reading in the data files currently
	    in memory will be included as well.

	    <Quit> For closing the application.


[Output]

       This menue allows to use the available output options:

	    <DataSheet> opens a window with the data on the
	    binary star system, including things like
	    individual masses of the stars, largest radius
	    ({Point Radius}) and smallest radius ({Polar}
	    {Radius}), mean temperatures etc. Basically,
	    this is the header of the output file
	    {NightfallCurve.dat}.
