To Insert A Menu Item In An Action; To Overwrite A Single Command; To Add Commands To An Action; To Record An Action Again - Adobe PHOTOSHOP CS2 User Manual

You can insert a command when recording an action, or after it has been recorded. An inserted command doesn't
execute until the action is played, so the file remains unchanged when the command is inserted. No values for the
command are recorded in the action. If the command opens a dialog box, the dialog box appears during playback,
and the action pauses until you click OK or Cancel.
Note: When you use the Insert Menu Item command to insert a command that opens a dialog box, you cannot disable
the modal control in the Actions palette.
