Thanks very much for your answer Fredrik - I managed to get some menus
working last night, so I think I'm starting to get the hang of
things.  I'll try having a thorough re-read of the Introduction now that
I'm getting an idea of the syntax.

I've realized one point that was confusing me.
When I use sys.exit to finish a python script I would type

sys.exit()

but in the above you use  exit  rather than  exit().
Is it generally the case that you don't use the brackets in the
comannd=...  part?  (Sorry if this is easily to be found in the
Introduction document!)  Presumably this means that I can't use a command
which relies on parameters?

Thanks once again...
