A menuing system which simplifies the interaction required between a user and one or more application programs. Menu commands are displayed radially from a highlighter default position and a user may select one of these commands by moving the highlighter a slight distance in the direction of the desired command ("snapping"). Provision is also made for selection of multiple command elements through the use of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal menus as well as command quadrants formed by the menus. In all instances, menu characteristics such as command sizes may be varied by the user through an easily accessible set-up facility. The speed of execution is limited only by the user's mind.
