Customization of Menus Using the cdsLibMgr.il File

The Library Manager uses the cdsLibMgr.il extension file as follows:

1. The Library Manager loads the cdsLibMgr.il extensions file containing menu customization as well as any initialization and termination commands.
2. The modification of GUI menus take place to reflect the customization directives from the extension file.
3. Library Manager then sends the defined initialization commands to the Message Passing Subsystem (MPS) client, which is Virtuoso.
4. The Library Manager GUI interaction triggers MPS callbacks to SKILL routines run in Virtuoso, repeating this sequence as often as necessary.
   Custom SKILL routines can modify GUI menu attributes via the MPS interface. These two steps are repeated as often as necessary.
5. The user requests to terminate the Library Manager.
6. The Library Manager sends the defined termination commands to the MPS client.
7. At the end, the Library Manager process terminates.
