Hi Dave,
Modify your help menu and add 2 items one for each of your options below.
This is so when you tab to the help on the app list you will have those options
there.

Subject: Adding an entry to the app menu?
OK, likely I am overlooking something here.
I have an app, with a rather extensive documentation. The documentation has
been split into several chapters, and I have a dialog up running, with the list
of Contents, and a chance for the user to pick the topic he wants to read. All
that, is working pretty well. And, I have got the dialog to work, from the Help
and Options menu, in the App Manager.
Now, I was wondering, if there is a way to add this dialog more directly to
the app. What I mean, is that when a user opens the App menu (Alt-A) from the
WE control panel, then scroll down to the app of mine, and hit Enter. As it
stands right now, there is only one entry in the drop-down he gets, and that is
the standard Help (Script Help). Is there any way for me, to add my dialog as a
choice on that list? So, when he hit Enter on the app, he gets two choices, The
standard ScriptHelp (which will hold a very short description of the app and
its hotkeys), and another choice saying things like: "Read Full Documentation".
If he chooses this one, my dialog will open.
Hope all of this made sense. I am eager to know, what instructions I would be
looking at, to add my dialog to the drop-down list.
Thanks, guys,
