This example illustrates how to use the Customize Tools dialog box to add an
Uncheckout command to the Tools menu: the command cancels the checkout of
whatever file is currently open in Tornado (that is, the file visible in the current
editor window). Figure 8-6 illustrates the specification for a ClearCase command
to uncheckout a module.

Uncheckout Command for Tools Menu

The Menu Text entry indicates that the command unchecks out a file, but is not
specific to any particular file. The Tool Command field uses the $filepath macro
(Macros for Customized Menu Commands, p.285) to expand the current file to its full
path name.
In this example, the Prompt for Arguments and Redirect to Child Window boxes are
checked. When the new Uncheckout command in the Tools menu is executed, the
predefined argument list appears as a default in a dialog box (shown in Figure 8-7),
to permit specifying other arguments if necessary.
