Customizing the Web Tools Menu

The Web Tools Menu can be modified with a text editor such as SimpleText.
Open the file "Web Tools Menu" in the "Settings:WebTools" folder.
Every line is a menu item and contains:

[The creator code for the app] SPACE [The name in the menu]

Change or add a line if you want to add another application.
Restart PageSpinner.
If PageSpinner crash at startup restore the backup file and try again.

Note:

The creator code consists of 4 characters - you can find out the code for an application by using ResEdit.

It must be a space (and not a tab) after the creator code.

To put in a line in the menu add a line with five spaces and a - character
" -"
