I'm trying to add an item to the system menu of an NT-based Tcl
application and nothing is happening.  What am I doing wrong?

% menu .mb
.mb
% . configure -menu .mb
% .mb add command -label "file"
% menu .mb.system
.mb.system
% .mb.system add  command -label "foo"
% parray tcl_platform
tcl_platform(byteOrder) = littleEndian
tcl_platform(machine)   = intel
tcl_platform(os)        = Windows NT
tcl_platform(osVersion) = 4.0
tcl_platform(platform)  = windows
tcl_platform(threaded)  = 1
tcl_platform(user)      = nelson
% info patchlevel
8.2.0

This confused me for a while, too.  You also need to do:

    .mb add cascade -label System -menu .mb.system

Also, tearoffs look awful in the system menu.  You probably
want to do:

    .mb.system configure -tearoff 0

(Y'know, living so close together, one of these times we ought to
meet in person...)

Thanks, that does the trick.  Strange.

Yep, I should.

Yeah, we should.  And don't you have a book coming out?  A lot of
authors here in Tech Valley, I guess.
