One of the best things about getting into Thor is its built on top of VFP. 
Everything (almost) is a PRG and metadata lives in tables which we all know how 
to debug and manipulate. You like the Thor behavior for any tool out of the 
box; just use it as is. Want to customize things to your preferences; itโ€™s all 
there for us to change the way we want. Kudos to Jim Nelson and Matt Slay as 
the progenitors.

You can find it in his 50 ways to launch a tool video. Roughly 12 minutes in.

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. ๐Ÿ˜Š

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...
