The syntax for a menu is Menu menu-name { label mnemonic accelerator function . . . } The mnemonic is the part of the label that gets the underscore, and the accelerator is the key that invokes the action. The mnemonic looks like _c where the 'c' is the character to be underlined. A real menu (that I use, and is pretty much the standard) looks like: Menu DefaultWindowMenu MwmWindowMenu { "Window Menu" f.title "Restore" _R Alt<Key>F5 f.normalize "Minimize" _n Alt<Key>F9 f.minimize "Maximize" _x Alt<Key>F6 f.maximize "Move" _M Alt<Key>F7 f.move "Size" _S Alt<Key>F8 f.resize "Lower" _L Alt<Key>F3 f.lower no-label f.separator "Quit" _Q Alt<Key>F4 f.kill } >Rich Thomson thomson@cs.utah.edu {bellcore,hplabs,uunet}!utah-cs!thomson >``If everybody is thinking the same thing, is anybody thinking?'' --Bob Johnson > > -Greg Pasquariello grp@unify.com
