In order to get an extension into the menu, you need to have an ASCII text file named xtnmenu.dat in $GISBASE/etc or somewhere else in the path specified by $GRASS_ADDON_ETC.
The specs for this file are as follows:
Lines that begin with a "#" are comments and not read
Menu description lines are
[menu level]:[menu item]:[command to call module]:[help string]
[menu level] is not implemented yet, but would allow for hierarchical menus. Just set it to 0
[menu item] is what actually shows up in the menu, UNLESS [menu item] == "separator". If it is called separator, it will create a menu separator as a horizontal rule.
[command to call module] should be in the proper format to initiate your module from TclTk. You can use run procedures available gis.m (see runandoutput.tcl)
[help string] is a text string for mouse-over help.
Hope this helps.
Michael

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"Hello Everybody
Thanks to Benjamin Ducke for the response
Now since I've installed GEM, I want to use it for all the scripts I
developped.
I've got 40 perl and shell scripts which are used for landscape
segmentation; Some procedures are independants but the the majority are used
on the control of a principal script. At this time, there is no graphical
interface only a terminal interface.
I want to use GEM to implement my scripts in the gis.m interface, is it the
right way to do it ?
I read the GEM documentation but it's a little harder for me to understand
the whole procedure. Is some already use GEM to do the same thing and can
explain to me some 'tricks' to begin ?
Thanks a lot
