Hello again, neighbors.
 
Is there any documentation on the menu system on the Tower?
 
None came with my system, and I can't find anything in the technical
publications catalog that would seem to have this information.
 
I would like to be able to customize the menus, adding and/or deleting
certain items from the standard ones.
 
So far, I have been able to change the menus in the /appl subdirectory
for the user or in the /menu/menu directory.  (Incidentally, it appears
that there is a help menu in the /appl subdirectory for each user
that is not used, as the equivalent menu in the /menu/help directory
is used instead.  (Without looking, I think it is the general.h menu.)
 
This may have value in reference to my note of several days ago regarding
changing the date and time.  It appears that the script for user 'sa'
uses some of the same menu items.  Can the items relating to changing
the date be reached and placed in another script, such as the one
for the 'startup' user?
