This built-in predicate adds a menu item to the 'Tools' menu of the main window of the IDE of Trinc-Prolog. The first argument is the string used for the menu item. A '&' character in this string has the effect that the character following the '&' character is underlined and becomes the keyboard shortcut for the menu item. The second argument is the name of the file containing the Prolog program and the last argument is the Prolog goal that starts the program.
The 'Tools' menu can be used to integrate Prolog programs into the IDE of Trinc-Prolog.
