1 pcg 1.1 A few examples of constructing menubars for rxvt. Used in conjuction
2     with the reference material (rxvtRef.html/txt), it should be possible to
3     piece together some useful menus without too much time.
4    
5     C-shell users be warned.
6     Some of the menu items contain bsh/ksh constructs like ${EDITOR:-vi}\r
7     which will cause your shell to gag.
8     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
9    
10     example.menu:
11     simple menus for Pico and the Shell
12    
13     jedmenu.sl:
14     (almost) self-contained SLang code for loading up a menubar
15     for the Jed editor. It doesn't need terminal.menu,
16     but looks a bit better with it.
17    
18     Note for JED users:
19     since rxvt provides an escape sequence to override the
20     normal XTerm interpretation of Shift-Insert/Prev/Next,
21     "wmark.sl" (MS-windows-style shift marking) works really
22     well and is a nice bonus for those forced to switch
23     to/from MS-windows
24    
25     terminal.menu
26     common rxvt terminal functions used by the other menus
27    
28     menu:
29     a small shell script to reduce the pain of typing
30     echo "ESC]10; ... BEL" for every menubar command.
31     It also contains a sample "default" menu at the bottom.
32    
33     rxvt.menu:
34     A nice script that allows a convenient way to have different
35     menubars used for rlogin|telnet to a machine.
36     Of course to get it to work, you'll need to add your own
37     machine names (and remove mine).
38    
39     The script is set up so that "rxvt" will be called if the first
40     argument to the script does not contain "rxvt".
41     So
42     rxvt.menu [options]
43     is the same as
44     rxvt.menu rxvt [options]
45    
46     To always have this script act as the front-end for rxvt:
47     1) install the rxvt binary somewhere not in your path
48     2) set the `exe' in menu.script to point to this binary
49     eg,
50     exe="/usr/local/X11/rxvt-2.21/rxvt"
51     # default program to execute
52     3) have rxvt.menu linked somewhere in your path as `rxvt'
53     4) add all the various machines/menus combinations to
54     rxvt.menu, or else make a separate database and change
55     the `menu' variable in rxvt.menu to suit.
