     RS202512234819  I would suggest add a separate menu or menu under Accessories tab and assign you custom proc to it.

    AddAccessoryMenu(lVendorName, lMenuName, proc) : returns bool
    Parameters:
    lVendorName: char const *
    lMenuName: char const *
    proc: char const *

    For adding custom menu

    Try and let me know in case of any concern.
