This function executes a command in the menu bar (cursor menu and pull-down menus). The string parameter uses the following formats:

"menu=value"

"menu=*"

The menu parameter has two parts-for example (menucmd "P1.2=*). In this case, the "P1" refers to the first pull-down menu (usually the File menu). the ".2" refers to the first item on the menu (usually the Open item). The first values of menu permitted in Bricscad are:

!.	Prefix menu item with a check mark.
	(blank) Remove properties.
