removing custom script command 2005-06-19 - By Bernard Lebel

As far as I'm aware, you cannot create a menu. You can only insert a
submenu in an existing menu.
Attached the LightTools menu construction plugin (written in Python),
wich I don't use because there is too many items and makes XSI crash
every 4 times I click on the Light cell.
Note that having plugins in menus will slow down these menus. With only
a handful of menus you will not see any difference, but the more you
add, the slower the menu becomes (and potentially unstable).
Cheers
