NAME
     wmii9menu - The wmii menu program

SYNOPSIS
     wmii9menu [-a <address>] [-i <initial>] <item>[:<command>]...  wmii9menu -v

DESCRIPTION
     wmii9menu	is wmii's standard clickable menu program. It's used extensively
     by wmii and related programs to display clickable menus, namely for  window
     titlebars	and  bar  items. The name, along with the code, derives from the
     9menu program, which in turn derives its name from Plan 9's style of click-
     able menus.

ARGUMENTS
     -a     The address at which to connect to wmii.

     -i <initial>

	    If <initial> is listed among the other items on the command line, it
	    is selected at startup, and the menu is positioned so that the mouse
	    pointer is centered on said item.

     :

USAGE
     wmii9menu is invoked with a list of arguments, each of which  is  displayed
     as a menu item. The first : in the item name, and any text following it, is
     stripped. The menu is opened such that the mouse pointer is centered on the
     selected item. If a mouse button is depressed when the menu opens, then re-
     leasing it will confirm the selection. Otherwise, a mouse press will do the
     same.  When  a  selection	is made, wmii9menu prints the result. If the se-
     lected item initially contained a :, the  text  following	it  is	printed.
     Otherwise, the item text itself is printed.

ENVIRONMENT
     $WMII_ADDRESS
	    The address at which to connect to wmii.

     $NAMESPACE
	    The namespace directory to use if no address is provided.
