Notes
- To get info for a top-level menu or submenu, use an empty string "" for the item.
- If you get unexplained errors, see the separate Tech Support FAQ document.
- For nested hierarchical menus, use the form "submenu;subsubmenu".
- For a complete list of properties for each type of object, see the Properties section of Chapter 6.
- By default, Player matches only the number of characters specified in the verb parameter. This feature has the benefit of ignoring trailing punctuation, but will occasionally find a false match.
- By default, name matching is not case sensitive.
Errors
Menubar is not available (e.g. a modal dialog is present).
