This should have occurred to me before: I was trying to dim some dash
items for linux (like frame), but it doesn't listen to -linux in the
menu file. From the dash man page, MENU FORMAT section:
+-sgi
+-sun4
+-decmips
+-rsaix
+-rt
+-vax
Used with an item entry, specifies that this item
is or is not available specifically on specified
workstation platforms. Default is + for all plat-
forms. If an item is specified as not available
for the platform on which dash is running, it will
appear dimmed on the screen.
Is the list hard-coded, or is machtype not the right string to use?
