My Today/Rsrc/Menus.odc file looks like this. I've been reading
documentation and source for much of the week. I seem to have
forgotten much since OFrames or whatever came out.


MENU "Search"
        "Search In Sources" "" "TextCmds.InitFindDialog;
DevSearch.SearchInSources" "TextCmds.SelectionGuard"
        "Search In Docu (Case Sensitive)" "" "TextCmds.InitFindDialog;
DevSearch.SearchInDocu('s')" "TextCmds.SelectionGuard"
        "Search In Docu (Case Insensitive)" "" "TextCmds.InitFindDialog;
DevSearch.SearchInDocu('i')" "TextCmds.SelectionGuard"
        "Compare Texts" "" "DevSearch.Compare" "TextCmds.FocusGuard"
END

MENU "Alm01Gather"
        "Gather the Sources" "" "TextCmds.InitFindDialog; Alm01Gather.Order;
StdCmds.PasteView" "TextCmds.SelectionGuard"

END
