     <operating system> (Or "drop-down menu", "pop-down menu") A
     menu in a graphical user interface, whose title is
     normally visible but whose contents are revealed only when the
     user activates it, normally by pressing the mouse button
     while the pointer is over the title, whereupon the menu
     items appear below the title.  The user may then select an
     item from the menu or click elsewhere, in either case the menu
     contents are hidden again.  A menu item is selected either by
     dragging the mouse from the menu title to the item and
     releasing or by clicking the title and then the item.
  
     When a pull-down menu appears in the main area of a window, as
     opposed to the menu bar, it may have a small,
     downward-pointing triangle to the right.
  
     Compare: scrollable list.
