#menuinsert location

For program feature plug-ins, this lets you specify where to put the menu item for this plug-in.  By default all plug-ins are placed on the Plugins menu.  By setting values for #menuinsert, you can change this.  The positions are defined by the menu number, from left to right.  That is, the File menu is 1, Sector is 2, etc.  If you use a single number, the plug-in is added to the bottom of that menu's list of items.  If you use two numbers separated by a space in the #menuinsert tag, the plug-in is placed at the position of the second number within the menu defined by the first number.

Examples

'places the plug-in as the 8th entry of the first menu.  In a default installation, this is right after the Import entry in the File menu.

       #menuinsert 1 8

'places the plug-in at the end of the 4th menu, typically the Actions menu. 

       #menuinsert 4
