Workbench menu-Window menu-Icons menu-Tools menu

BACKDROP (Amiga-B)
This simply adds or removes the border around the Workbench window and is possibly the most useless option ever.

EXECUTE COMMAND (Amiga-E)
Now, this is possibly the most useful option there is. This allows you to enter individual commands without cluttering up the screen with the AmigaShell. It is mostly used on my system for executing programs such as Multiview and IconEdit.

REDRAW ALL
If the screen appears corrupted then this will refresh it. It is very similar to RESETWB in the Tools menu.

UPDATE ALL
This rereads all the open drawers updating its contents which is especially useful in viewing a newly created file.

LAST MESSAGE
Simply displays the last message shown at the top of the screen, such as "Attempting to load IconEdit."

ABOUT (Amiga-?)
Highlighting this brings up an information screen displaying the Kickstart and workbench version, as well as exactly who owns the Amiga, which is very useful if you suddenly get confused.

QUIT (Amiga-Q)
This simply quits workbench displaying an almost completely grey screen. There is no actual way of doing anything with this so you are forced to reboot anyway. Attempting to quit whilst something is running brings up a message telling you how many programs are open.
