menu script enhancement idea

[John Esak]

Wouldn't it be easy to incorporate the passing of variables to the menu
scripts by doing something like this...


menu.-A var1 var2 var3 var4 ...


Couldn't it be arranged to pass these in as $1 $2 $3 ... to the called
script?  There are any number of really good reasons for being able to do
this.  I don't think it would be too difficult to add and it certainly
wouldn't cause any backward compat issues. how about a 5.6.4 release?? :-)

Example:

menu.-A 2006

and the script reads

/u/appl/rreport filename -f report -p /u/appl/reports/$1/rep_1
/u/appl/rreport filename -f report -p /u/appl/reports/$1/rep_2
/u/appl/rreport filename -f report -p /u/appl/reports/$1/rep_3
...

Actually, this is a pretty weak example... but you get the idea.
