[gme-users] Hierarchical menus for Tools | Run Interpreter...

[James H. Hill]

Hi Larry,

Your suggestions are all good options.

I just seems more intuitive from an end-user point of view to enable 
customization of the menu functionality to give the tool better look and 
feel for the distributed DSML (i.e., make the menus more domain-specific).

Thanks,

James
