Well, I know the tools menu is _MTOOLS
I found out - if I run this command: ?PRMBAR('_MTOOLS', GETBAR('_MTOOLS',14))
I actually get this as the results: Code References
Which is good.
Now, when you said - "how-to for adding a custom menu to the standard sysmenu"
- did you really mean adding a custom menu ITEM? As I did manage to add a menu
item already. And, using that Same technique - I can Force the "Code
References" menu item back to the way it should be.
But, yeah - if _FOXREF contains what VFP is trying to run - I should be able to
simply print out the value in that variable - to see what it is running.
Correct? Cause - if I do it now - it holds a blank value.
Which does not seem right...

Reading documentation; always good times. 😊
Per the Help the thing that gets run from the standard VFP menu is stored in
_FOXREF system variable.
I know Jim had a whole how-to for adding a custom menu to the standard sysmenu
that was driven out of Thor. Just don't recall where...

Yes - RK - I have been spending HOURS in the VFP Help file today - trying to
track down how to look at what VFP is trying to run when I try to run Code Ref
from the Tool menu. But, so far I can not find an answer. Also, I think other
strange things are happening.
I actually turned to my new Best Buddy Claude for assistance. But, so far -
striking out. A Lot of the things he is suggesting is not working - even things
that VFP help says should work a certain way - is not. I WAS - using the help
of Claude - able to Add a New menu item under Tools. I essentially had it run
the original FoxRef.app - and that works. So, I could add GoFish to the menu
that was. I'm just frustrated that I can't seem to determine what is happening
when I use the current Code References menu item.
It's VERY Frustrating! Ugh...
