You can add GUI menu items that call hansl code (subject to approval by the
user) by wrapping your code as a "function package". Obviously Jack (as the
author of several such packages) knows that very well so I must be missing
the point he's making.
I'm sorry, that wasn't very clear. What I meant is that you can use hansl
to create functions that do pretty much anything you want, and you can
have your function connected to a menu entry where you use the GUI for
entering the function arguments. What you CAN'T do is adding a menu entry
that contains arbitrary elements, eg a text box like the one we have under
Model>Simultaneous Equations.
