I think I'm missing something to do with defining commands, and right-click context menus.

I have process objects that are presented and a number of commands defined for this type. I assumed (presumably wrongly :-) that these commands would be displayed automatically when the presentation is right-clicked over.

You need to define a presentation translator for something to appear in the context menu. You do that by: * Specifying a gesture in the define-glimpse-command form. You've specifically said nil there; * Using define-presentation-to-command-translator with a non-nil menu argument. Tim

An example command definition follows:

(define-glimpse-command (com-kill-process :name t :menu nil) ((obj 'ccl::process ; need to generalize this... :prompt "process" :gesture nil)) (clim-sys:destroy-process obj) (com-show-processes))

[aside; I suspect it could be useful to define a PROCESS type in CLIM-SYS]

Do commands need to have a specific ':menu' entry to appear?
