    1.15  \vym uses two windows: an editor for the map itself and another one for
    1.16  notes, which are part of the map. Let's call them {\em mapeditor} and
    1.17  {\em noteeditor}:

    1.19  type or copy\&paste it into the {\em noteeditor}. Working with notes is
    1.20  explained in \ref{noteeditor}

    1.22 +\subsection{Menus and Context menus}
    1.23 +On top of each window you find the menubar. The options you find there
    1.24 +are similar to those you are used from other applications. Note that
    1.25 +many (and even more) options are availabe via {\em context menus}. Those
    1.26 +are available if you right-click onto an object in a map (on Mac~OS~X
    1.27 +Command-Click).
    1.28 +
    1.29 +\subsection{Toolbars}
    1.30 +The toolbars in the mainwindows give quick access to many functions and
    1.31 +also visualize the state of an object. For example a part of of the map
    1.32 +can be hidden when the map is exported into an Open~Office presentation.
    1.33 +To show this the branch in the map will have a little cloud symbol,
    1.34 +which is also "switched on" in the toolbar.
    1.35 +
    1.36 +Note that you can reposition all toolbars by simply grabbing them. For
    1.37 +example you can move the flags-toolbar from its original horizontal
    1.38 +position on top of the mapeditor to a vertical position on the right
    1.39 +side. You can even detach it and make it "float" separate from the other
    1.40 +windows. Or just insert it again at its original position.

    1.42 +\subsection{Maps}
    1.43  The map itself has always a {\em mapcenter}.  The
    1.44  mapcenter has {\em branches} just like the trunk of a tree. Each branch
    1.45  in turn may have branches again.
