Example

The following code adds a link to online documentation to a menu of a "standard" type Macintosh application.

mMenu.createMenu("Help");
mMenu.addWebLinkToMenu("Online Documentation", "www.screentime.com/help/", "Help");
mMenu.addMenuToMenuBar("Help");

This functionality can implemented using the additem method and the onCommand event handler. USing addItem is the prefered implementation method as it will tend to lead to a better cross-platform implemenation.
The following code implements a link to online docs in the Mac/Windows right-click menu and in the Mac application's Help menu.
mMenu.addItem("Online Documentation");
if (mSystem.isMac()) {
    mMenu.createMenu("Help");
    mMenu.addItem("Online Documentation", "Help");
    mMenu.addMenuToMenuBar("Help");
}
// handle user selections
mMenu.onCommand = function (menuName, itemName)
{
    switch (itemName)
    {
        case "Online Documentation":
            mSystem.openDocument("http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/docs/");
            break;        
    }
}
