USAGE
wmii9menu is invoked with a list of arguments, each of which is displayed as a menu item. The first : in the item name, and any text following it, is stripped. The menu is opened such that the mouse pointer is centered on the selected item. If a mouse button is depressed when the menu opens, then releasing it will confirm the selection. Otherwise, a mouse press will do the same. When a selection is made, wmii9menu prints the result. If the selected item initially contained a :, the text following it is printed. Otherwise, the item text itself is printed.
ENVIRONMENT
