Question: How to activate a menu function from within an application?

Information:

 In general, if you want to call a menu function from an OVwApplication,
 you must use the OVwDoAction API call.  It is documented in the
 Programmer's Reference.

 Here is the catch:  In order to execute a menu function (an action) from
 your application, the action must be registered in a registration file
 in an "Action" block.  To see an example of this, go into the
 /usr/OV/registration/C directory and grep for the word "Action".  You
 will see that some applications register certain actions.  Action blocks
 are also described in the Programmer's Guide. 

 There is also a man page /usr/OV/man/man5/OVwRegIntro that gives the
 basics of registration files.
