Hi Al Davis and All, Thank you very much for your response. Yes, similar to what you described. With a format like: (actual format can be in scheme code calling a generic popup SCM)
## 0 in first field means no popup window 0 myscript1 -i $$.sch -o $$.ckt ## 2 means popup a window with 2 user entry fields ## such that ## [table_name = ] ## [QueryName = ] 2 myscript2 -t $table_name -q $QueryName -o $$.ckt As long as we can agree on a generic way to pass parameters with a popup window if specified. We can limit to a max of 5 fields if we can agree.

How about this simple file: ======= ~/.gEDA/menu-export.cfg ======== ## menu export spice fxs "gnetlist -g spice-sdb $$" pcb fxp "gsch2pcb $$" verilog fxv "gnucap-trans --in gschem --out verilog $$" vhdl fxh "gnetlist -g vams $$" .......etc..... ============ Suppose I want to add a top level "simulate" ...
