Customizing the Mwm Menus
You can modify any of the window manager menus such
as the window menu to change the menu names and
accelerators or to add new items.
For example, to start a DECterm from the window menu,
1. Add this item to the window menu. The menus are
defined in the resource configuration file.
"Start DECterm" _D Alt<Key>F17 f.exec "create/terminal/detached"
for OpenVMS.
"Start DECterm" _D Alt<Key>F17 f.exec "/usr/bin/dxterm"
for other systems.
2. Restart Mwm.
The menu has the form
Menu MenuName
{
"Menu Item" [_mneumonic] [accelerator] f.function [argument]
...
}
The mneumonic or underlined character should be contained
in the menu item. The accelerator should be of the form,
Modifier<Key>Keyname. The mneumonic and accelerator
are optional.
In addition to text, the menu item can be an image. You
must specify "@bitmapfile" as the entry instead of text.
For your convenience, the Mwm functions are listed at the
top of the file. Additional topics:
