The Item Command

The Item command is used in 68k:Custom..EndCustm and 68k:ToolBar..EndTBar blocks (both of which create toolbar menus) to add an option to one of the tabs. See these commands for more details on how to use it.

Inside a Custom..EndCustm menu, the correct syntax is Item text (text being a string). This will display text for the menu option, and also paste text every time the option is selected.

Inside a ToolBar..EndTBar menu, the correct syntax is Item text,label. This will, as in the previous case, display text for the menu option; when the option is selected, the program will resume running from 68k:Lbl label.

Error Conditions

130 - Argument must be a string happens when the option text isn't a string.
500 - Invalid label happens when the label doesn't exist (in this program), when the option is selected.
