As discussed in Chapter 5, you can add your own PASCAL programs or commands to ThinkTank’s SPECIALIST Command Menu. You will need a hard disk or at least three floppy disk drives. The technical issues involved in extending a program to “hook” into ThinkTank are discussed in a technical note described in Appendix D. Once you’ve resolved them, you can add your command to the SPECIALIST Command Menu with the MENU option on the UTILITIES Command Menu.

When you select MENU, ThinkTank displays the MENU BUILDER Command Menu which allows you to examine, modify, erase, or add to the commands on the SPECIALIST Command Menu. The options are:

*ADD: Select this option to add a command to the SPECIALIST Command Menu. (Command key A)

*LOOK: Select this option to examine or modify com- mands that currently appear on the SPECIALIST Com- mand Menu. ThinkTank will display the LOOK Command Menu which allows you to choose which command to ex- amine. (Command key L)

*CLEAR: Select this option to erase all commands from the SPECIALIST Command Menu. To preserve the commands already there, avoid this option unless you really wish to build a new menu. (Command key C)

*ESCAPE: Cancels or concludes the MENU command. If you have made changes it allows you to save or undo them; otherwise it returns to Top Level. (Command key ESC)
