Summary
 The wmnx macro is similar to wmn, but can also be used for extended menus. It enables you to invoke 3B2's pull down menus or any string number defined menu. From 3B2 v6.03 the right mouse button will invoke a menu relating to the current 3B2 mode, i.e. if in graphics mode the menu will include only graphics options. You can assign string numbers of your own choice, by using the * macro and the following syntax
