individual entry listing

Maybe it’s so obvious I missed it. In the menu, wp has links, April archive, a calendar, other etc.
I am sure that everyone knows several different formats for listing individual posts, but for some strange reason after searching through the docs and this forum, I have no clue how to make a menu list for individual articles. Maybe I am missing the obvious here, I cannot believe that wp would be deficient in this most important area. Maybe I need more sleep?
lol
I would like to have links to articles in menu, can anyone help a tad
thanks
