From looking at the lite c workshop tuts I assume that it would work like the quit button only my function would be like function opennewmenu() { } instead of quit_program() question is, being brand new to programming. What would I put in my function to open the new menu. I would think a "wait" at least at first but what else? I dont know if I am loading a new panel or just showing/unhiding one or what? thanks for any guidance.
