Hello,

when creating a menu via Arexx for Ambient there is this form:
'menu add id="m1-1-1" parentid="m1-1-0" title="String" type=item command="PATH" commandtype=TYPE'

where type can be AMIGADOS, WORKBENCH, INTERNAL.

My question is: What effect does this selection have? What is the difference behind the TYPEs?

type selects how the command string is interpretted:
internal - ambient internal rexx command. just like 'menu ...' or 'loaduri'.
amigados - path to normal executable or script to be executed in dos mode (taking parameters in command line)
workbench - similar to amigados but executes command in workbench mode (tooltypes from icon)
