Ok, I hope this question doesn't turn out to be as dumb as my last one, but I can't seem to find the documentation for this anywhere... How do you call a custom menu from a plotscript?

When you use "open menu", it returns a menu handle. I'm guessing you haven't messed with this stuff yet, so just think of a menu handle as if it's an NPC reference. It is a way to mess with the proper menu, even if there were multiple copies of the same menu laying around. Most menu commands will not accept the menu ID number.

Interesting. All the relevant functions are in the xml file you linked to, but none of this stuff appears on the wiki. Didn't James say at one point he has a script that automatically keeps the wiki plotscripting dictionary up to date with the xml?

Also, thanks!

Mike wrote it, and I'm not sure how it works. I tried doing the xml transformation myself just now, and I just got a bunch of error messages :(

Don't rely on the wikised version for documentation, it hasn't been updated in over a year! The copy that comes with your release is normally the best one to use. (As the xml documents the current WIP build, not the last stabel release)
The wiki really ought to provide the link to the nightly xml, rather than claiming to be totally up to date.
