Pauses a game in progress. This can also be acheived by the keyboard shortcut
<b>meta-p</b> or by pressing the <b>Pause</b> button on the interface.
The game is resumed by repeating this action.
<li><b>Speed factor</b><br>
This option lets the user specify a number between -10 and 10 which makes the
application run faster or slower. A negative number makes the application slow
down and a positive number makes the application go faster. This can be used if
the current hardware is too fast or too slow.
This option is not availible when a game is in progress.
<li><b>Pick level</b><br>
This option lets the user specify a difficulty level between one and fifteen
at which the next game is to be started. This option is not availible when
a game is in progress.
<li><b>Quit</b><br>
This exits the <b>htetris</b> application. This can also be acheived by the
keyboard shortcut <b>meta-q</b> or by pressing the <b>Quit</b> button on the

<br>
<li>The <b>Controls</b> menu<br><br>
<ul type="disc">

<br>
<li>The <b>Bricks</b> menu<br><br>

This option lets the user add a user defined brick to the game by loading it
from a file created with the editor which is described in <a href="http://lww.CS.Arizona.EDU:80/~henriks/editor.html"><b>Brick editor</b></a>.
This can also be acheived by the keyboard shortcut <b>meta-a</b>.
If the brick is added successfully, the user is given an id for the brick
which should be used if the brick is going to be removed from the game again.
The added brick will appear in every game from here on until it is removed or
the application is closed.
<li><b>Remove brick</b><br>
If any user defined bricks are currently in the game, this option lets the
user remove such bricks. This means that they are not going to appear in any
game from here on unless they are added again by selecting <b>Add brick</b>.
This can also be acheived by the keyboard shortcut <b>meta-r</b>.
<li><b>Bricks in use</b><br>
This option lets the user display user defined bricks in play if there are any.
The user is prompted to enter one of the listed brick id's and in doing so,
that brick is displayed in a popup window. The dialog reappears until
<b>Cancel</b> is pressed. Thus, several user bricks can be viewed
simultanously.
<li><b>Brick editor</b><br>
This starts up the brick editor in which a user can create his/hers own bricks
to use in the game. This can also be acheived by the keyboard shortcut
<b>meta-e</b>.
