Hi James,
 
Thanks for the information.  Yup, I'm running 7.1.3 on Solaris 8.  I'll give it 
a whirl.
 
Regards and thanks again,
 
Dan

        You are on UNIX, are you not?
        The context menu for events is fixed and has no API.
        However, you can achieve something similar to what you want using the
        Options --> Additional Actions menu.
        There are several  additional actions supplied.
        This allows you to build an underlying script which can be launched by 
the
        user by highlighting one or more events and following through that menu
        path.
        Details on how you pass the event elements to your script are in the man
        page for trapd.conf
        While you could update trapd.conf directly,  the preferred method is to
        use xnmtrap.  That should prevent you from messing up the syntax so 
badly
        that trapd cores trying to read what you put in.   If you bring that up,
        then you'll see a big button on the lower right entitled, "Configure
        Additional Actions . . ."
        
        Have fun

List
        
        
        
        Hello Everyone,
        
        Does NV have a method for me to add a customized menu item, i.e.; Tool,
        Script, etc?  Ideally, I'd like to be able to 'right-click' on an event
        within the event list and have the menu item appear as part of a drop 
down
        list of items - giving the end user the option to select the item and
        execute the selection.
        
        I was wondering if anyone out there has attempted something similar, and
        if so, how did you facilitate it?
        
        Many thanks,
        
        Dan
