Re: Motif menu-bar behavior.

From: Colin Meldrum <colin@franz.com>
in looking at some Motif apps (written in "C" [shudder]), I see that
they have a pulldown/cascade-button on the right hand end of the
menu-bar, usually it's "Help", with the normal pulldowns at the left
end. is there a way to get clim to do this?
This is not currently supported in CLIM 2.0 on Allegro. It would be fairly
simple to implement - the hardest part being deciding on how you want to
control this from CLIM. Do you have any suggestions?

This might already be supported. Menu bars are specified like this:
(define-application-frame fred ()
...
(:command-table (fred :inherit-from (fred-commands)
:menu (("File" :menu file :mnemonic #\F)
("Window" :menu window :mnemonic #\W)
("Help" :menu help :mnemonic #\H))))
)
So if I do this:
(add-menu-item-to-command-table (find-command-table 'help)
"Tutorial"
:menu
'tutorial-commands)
I should think that I would get an entry in the HELP menu called "Tutorial"
whose submenu is generated from a command table called tutorial-commands.
