with the code, derives from the 9menu program, which in turn derives
its name from Plan 9's style of clickable menus.

.SH USAGE

.P
\fBwmii9menu\fR is invoked with a list of arguments, each of which is
displayed as a menu item. The first \fI:\fR in the item name, and any
text following it, is stripped. The menu is opened such that the
mouse pointer is centered on the selected item. If a mouse button is
depressed when the menu opens, then releasing it will confirm the
selection. Otherwise, a mouse press will do the same. When a
selection is made, \fBwmii9menu\fR prints the result. If the selected
item initially contained a \fI:\fR, the text following it is printed.
Otherwise, the item text itself is printed.

.SH ENVIRONMENT

.TP
\fB$WMII_ADDRESS\fR
The address at which to connect to wmii.
.TP
\fB$NAMESPACE\fR
The namespace directory to use if no address is
provided.
