creating menu
I´m trying to create a new menu and used the mel command ref but the example given creates only a window. also had a look at some other peoples scripts how they do. and it works. but as soon as I try adding scripts with the flag
-c "script"
next time maya starts up - the menu has gone. in addition my 2 other costum menus from MJpolyTools and advCharTools disappear.
how would a simple script look like to make me a menu with some items (scripts from my scriptsDirectory) in it?
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

No idea how to make a menu in Maya's main UI,
But in a Window it's like this:
Hope it helpswindow -title "Menu Test Window" -menuBar true;
menu -label "File" -tearOff false;
menuItem -label "New" -command "new";
menuItem -label "Save" -command "save";
menuItem -divider true;
menuItem -label "Close" -command "close";
menu -label "Edit" -tearOff true;
menuItem -label "Undo" -command "un";
menuItem -label "Redo" -command "re";
showWindow;

the main goal for me is to have different folders with melScripts in the script directory. so I want to have different mainMenus for different needs like modeling or rigging.
but thanx though for spending your time on this.
