tsysmnu
Description
Some PTC ALD menus need access to certain information about the current document so that proper choices can be presented to the user. For example, the wmn macro has the facility to accept absolute values: the tsysmnu macro provides a method of passing further parameters to wmn.

Additional Information
The script below is from stuk.3ad. The menu defined in string 52 is called for by the macro at the end of string 51, which uses tsysmnu to test whether or not a frame is selected. If a frame is not selected a ~ character is drawn in front of the menu item, making it unselectable (greyed out).
