Adding to the system menu on 'Windows

| Why doesn't this work:
% menu .mb
.mb
% . configure -menu .mb
% menu .mb.system
.mb.system
% .mb.system add command -label "A new item"
? I expect to see "A new item" in the menu when I click on the icon in
the upper left corner of . but I don't see it. I haven't done this in a
long time. Have I remembered the technique wrong? Is this not still
true in Tk 8.4 on W98?

You've created the menu .mb.system but haven't attached it anywhere.
You're missing:
..mb add cascade -menu .mb.system

| Nifty. Is adding a new menu item to the system menu documented anywhere in
the ActiveTcl documentation? I can't seem to find it.
Is this capability cross-platform?

Section "SPECIAL MENUS IN MENUBARS" on the 'menu' manual page.

No. Every platform has different niftinesses instead.

Section "SPECIAL MENUS IN MENU BAR" in the menu command description.

No. Because system menu is windows-specific thing. On the Mac there is
Apple menu which has simular function.
