  • Director commands as menu options

    I had the bright idea of creating a Director menu option that would
    allow me to toggle between *Alphabet Latin1 and *Alphabet UTF8 without
    having to open a taskwindow or type anything (in potentially the wrong alphabet).

    However, although it seems to work, every time I click on that menu
    option a singletasking window opens with the title DirectorRun, forcing
    a complete redraw of the desktop when it closes. The documentation (!Director.Docs.!Commands) states that "Commands are GSTransed before
    being run as a WimpTask", but this doesn't seem to be a WimpTask?
