How program menu-bar?

How program menu-bar?

[Robert D.]

I didn't find any citations in
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/ on programming menus.  (Did I
miss something?)

Is there a doc somewhere that explains how to program the main menu
bar?  E.g., how to add a button to the menu bar, how to add a pull-down
menu to the menu-bar, how to add a button to an existing pull-down?

Or, should I stare at menu-bar.el?

Regards,
Bob

You missed the ELisp manual.  Programming the menu needs to be done in
Lisp, since no one wrote an easier interface.  So you are better off
looking in the ELisp manual, not the user's manual.

Looking at menu-bar.el is a good start, yes.
