Displaying an item message

This example shows how to use the itemmsg descriptor to display a message specific to a single menu item:

   menu="My First Menu"
   begrow=center
   begcol=30
   interrupt=true
   

   name="Run UNIX System V"
   action=unix-system
   

   name="Find Modified Files"
   action=`find $HOME -mtime -7 -print > modfiles`nop
   description="contents changed in past 7 days"
   itemmsg="Once begun, this activity cannot be interrupted"
   interrupt=false
   

   name="Find Executable Files"
   action=`find $HOME -perm -100 -print > execfiles`nop
   oninterrupt=`message Partial output is in execfiles`nop
   

   name="Exit My Application"
   action=exit

Menu.itemmsg: an example of the itemmsg descriptor

Whenever the user navigates to the second menu item, the message defined in the itemmsg descriptor is displayed as shown in ``Menu.itemmsg: an example of the itemmsg descriptor''. It will temporarily replace a frame message if one was created by the framemsg descriptor.
