Notes
- For pop-ups that are implemented as "user items" rather than true pop-ups, use get info dialog item. Player's balloon help will show the object class (type).
- This verb cannot get info for pop-up items, only the pop-up menu.
- 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.
