    Inside a file (I call mine ciw.il) put:

    test = hiCreateMenuItem(
            ?name   'assignments
            ?itemText       "assignments"
            ?callback       "load(\"/proj/projects/workarea/skill_work/assignment.il\")"
            )

    hiCreatePulldownMenu(
           'ciw1
            "MyStuff" list( assignments )
            ""
            )

    hiInsertBannerMenu(hiGetCIWindow() ciw1 7)

    in your cdsinit (or where you put things to automatically load) add:

    load("/proj/projects/workarea/skill_work/ciw.il")

    When start cadence you should have a MyStuff menu at the 7th position.  The 7th position is my default last spot on the CIW before help menu, yours may vary.

    Alternatively, you can just assign a bindkey and load it with that:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>F6" "load(\"/proj/projects/workarea/skill_work/assignment.il\")")

    Hope this helps,

    Dan
