Placing the command file in the Menu folder
To implement the menu Undo and Redo menu items, you must save the MyMenu.htm
command file in the Dreamweaver Configuration/Menus folder or a subfolder that you
create. The location of the file must agree with the location that you specified in the
tag. To make it accessible to Dreamweaver, either restart Dreamweaver or reload
menuitem
extensions. For information on how to reload extensions, see
on page 104.
To run the menu commands, select the menu item when it is enabled. Dreamweaver will
invoke the functions in the command file, as described in
on page 196.
