It provides a graphical front end to allow editing of the custom menus for use with SuperTED. It allows the addition of commands with or without keyboard shortcut keys, mapping of special keys to menu items as well as launching CLI based programs. It can also be used to edit the Custom menus for REDDebugger v2.5 @ENDNODE INTRODUCTION @NODE REQUIREMENTS @{b}@{u}Requirements@{ub}@{uu} This program requires SuperTED version 2.5 or later to run. It also requires RexxMast to be running if you wish copies of SuperTED to refresh their custom menus after you save your current settings. @ENDNODE REQUIREMENTS @NODE USAGE "Usage" @{b}@{u}Usage@{ub}@{uu} When MenuEd runs, a single Window will appear on the frontmost screen. MenuEd can either be run via the CLI,from Workbench, or (as is often the case) via SuperTED or REDDebugger. To edit the REDDebugger menus, you should call MenuEd with the command line argument REDDEBUGGER. It is invoked by selecting 'Edit...' from the Custom menu on SuperTED's screen. If you are running Workbench 3 or higher, click @{"here" link Blitz2:REDHelp/SuperTED/MenuEd.IFF/MAIN} to see an example screen grab. MenuED's main window contains a series of gadgets that are used to setup the SuperTED menu items as you require. The main portion of the window is taken up with a list of current menu items. The list to the left of the window contains the names of all the Custom menu items. When you click on any of the menu item names it becomes the 'active' item. All the other gadgets have their contents changed so that they describe the active menu item. Directly underneath the list of menus is a string gadget which holds the name of the currently active menu item. You can change the menu items name by just typing a new name into this gadget and pressing . The other gadgets present in the window are: Add Use this gadget to add a new menu item to the end of the list of items. The new item becomes the active item. Ins Insert a new item before the current menu item. The new item will become the active item. Del Deletes the current item. The item after the current item becomes the active item. Key This gadget shows you the keyboard shortcut associated with the active menu item. This keyboard shortcut will appear next to an Amiga symbol on your menu item. Bar This check box allows you to make the currently active menu item a divider menu item (a 'bar' item). This menu item has no text displayed for it and is instead just a black line that can be used to separate associated groups of menus. By default, the SuperTED custom menus have a divider menu item after the 'Edit...' menu. Command This is the CLI command that will be executed when the currently active menu is selected from the SuperTED menu list. This can contain C-style formatting strings. There meanings are : r - Arexx port name f - Current filename d - Current directory F - Current pathname s - Current screen-name w - Current word l - Current line t - Current token under cursor g - AmigaGuide® related document for that token L - Current token's library number Key Mapping These buttons allow you to assign a special help key combination to the currently active menu item. The menu item will then be invoked whenever SuperTED detects the special help key combination. Load This will load the current settings back into MenuED. Warning: this will destroy any changes made since the last save. Save This saves the current menu settings and causes every copy of SuperTED that has an ARexx port to reload its custom menus. Exit This quits the MenuED. If you have not saved your current changes they will be lost. @ENDNODE USAGE @NODE RWE "Red When Excited" @{b}@{u}How To Contact Red When Excited@{ub}@{uu} Write to: Red When Excited Ltd, 2 Slimmons Drive, St. Albans, Herts.
