Using Textundo - Menu question

Hi

I would like to modify the default menu in textundo.

I have figured out how to remove the default menu and make my own,
but since I'm only interested in removing a few menuitems
from the 'File' menu it seems like a lot of work to build it
all from scratch.

The things I would like to remove are the:
Open, SaveAs, Include & Clear.

So if you have some tips I would apreciate it.

Another related thing I'm wondering about is:

Is ther some way I can change all labels to
another language? Again I think I can do that by
rebuilding the whole menu but I'd rater not.

I have an application which does exactly that. It rebuilds the whole menu.
It only takes about half a second. Also - I found it was much easier to do
by creating the menus the "old-fashioned" way as per 'widget'.

I read english and french phrases into a hash from a config file and just
change the key to point to the new phrases.

Ahh. I was not yet aware of the entrycget method. It makes
things much easyer.

Snip of relevant info in that post for other people googeling in the future:

my $textmenu=$text->menu;
#get the menu associated with 'File'
my $filemenu=$textmenu->entrycget('File',-menu);
#Delete the 'Exit' command
$filemenu->delete(0);
#Replace it with your own
$filemenu->insert(0,'command',-label => 'Press Me',
-command=> sub{print "I was pressed\n"});

That's what I have been doing in my main application.
I was just hoping for a shortcut.....

Thanks for your help.
