CHKMENU

This is the command which polls the menu and checks if a button has been pressed. It shouldn't be called directly by the user, but is used within the RUNMENU procedure. User written ICL procedures which use the menu system may need to use this command.

When a button is pressed, CHKMENU gets the command associated with it from a GLOBAL parameter and writes it into a file /scratch/imenucom.icl
