A Command Editor Tool for X and Motif

Abstract

Marble Associates, Inc., is engaged in the development of customizable menus in NEXTSTEP and the X windowing environment. In this document, we present the design and implementation path for realizing end-user customizable menus in X and Motif. The differences between the NEXTSTEP and X development environments motivate an approach to bringing customizable menus to X and Motif that differs from our approach in NEXTSTEP. Initially, we intend to provide the basic functionality of customizing menus via modal dialog boxes, and we will investigate the feasibility of providing the same functionality through drag and drop (DND) in later stages of or implementation path
