<H4>Adding Menu Items</H4>
The Menu preference can be used to add menu items to the ImageWorks 
main menubar menus.  In fact new menus can also be added.<p>
The data arguments to the Menu preference have the following fields.
<P>
<UL>
<LI> field 1: The name of the procedure to run if the entry is selected, or
an empty string in double quotes if this item is to be a new
pulldown menu.
<LI> field 2: The visible text to be placed on the menu item.
<LI> field 3: The name of the pulldown menu under which to place the new
menu item, or the name of the new pulldown menu if field 2 is
an empty string.  The existing pulldown menus in ImageWorks are 
named FileMI, EditMI, ViewMI, ToolsMI and HelpMI.
<LI> field 4: The name of the new menu item (should be unique).
</UL>
The names of all the menu items in ImageWorks can be established by 
running the DUMPMENU procedure in the ImageWorks modelling window. <p>
Example:<p>
This item in the preference file would add a new menu item to the Tools
menu (which is named ToolsMI).   The new entry would be named BounceMI, and
have visible text &quot;Bounce...&quot;.  When selected the EASI+ procedure BOUNCE.EAS
would be run.
<P>
<PRE>
 Menu: BOUNCE &quot;Bounce...&quot; ToolsMI BounceMI
</PRE>
The following example would create a new menu called Misc (and named
MiscMI), and add one item to that menu which would invoke the EASI+ 
procedure AUTOLOAD.EAS.
<P>
<PRE>
 Menu: &quot;&quot; &quot;Misc&quot; MiscMI
 Menu: AUTOLOAD &quot;Auto Load&quot; MiscMI AutoLoadMI
</PRE>
