That's a good suggestion. -- Just a suggested guideline, I think. The
command is simply:
load menu ""
I suppose we could make that automatically inserted at the bottom, but
that seems a bit heavy-handed. Maybe there's a reason NOT to have the
full menu in certain cases. If we wanted to, though, we could have "Full
Menu" part of the translation set, so if any one uses it, it will show
up translated, even though it's not on the full menu itself.
By the way, What do you think of a "Load Model" menu item that calls up
a prompt preloaded with the current file name? That's easy for the
applet. Just:
fname = javascript("prompt(\"Enter a file name\",\""+_modelfile+"\")");
if (fname !="null" && fname !="");x =script("load "+fname);endif;
