ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.2) _______________________________________________________________________________ pdm [-on | -off] "Pull Down Menus" DESCRIPTION: 'pdm' is used to switch the pulldown menu line into and out of existence. 'pdm -on' makes the menu bar visible. 'pdm -off' makes the menu bar disappear. 'pdm' with no option option toggles the setting. The initial value is taken from the '.pdm' resource or the -pdm argument. On the command line, specify '-pdm y' to force the pulldowns to be initially on and '-pdm -n' to force the pulldowns to be initially off. In the .Xdefaults file, specify 'Ce.pdm : y' to start with the pulldown menu visible. If you want pulldowns active for 'ce' and 'cv' and off for 'ceterm', put the following in your .Xdefaults: Ce.pdm : y # This is the default anyway. ceterm.pdm : n # Turn off just for ceterm In the above examples, the capitalization of the first 'C' is important. 'Ce' is the X class and refers to ce, cv, and ceterm. 'ceterm', 'ce', and 'cv' are program names and refer just to that program. They will override the class resource just as the command line argument will override the X resource. If you want to just override the resource for one program, use the lower case. If you want to affect all the ARPUS/Ce programs, use the 'Ce' form. You can use pulldowns with the menu bar turned off. See the help on the 'pd' command for details.
