Description

The class of command tables. The command table for an application gives a complete specification of the commands available to that application, through its menus, tool bars, mnemonics, and accelerators.

The name: init-keyword is a symbol that names the current command table.

The inherit-from: init-keyword is a sequence of command tables whose behavior the current command table should inherit. All command tables inherit the behavior of the command table specified by *global-command-table*, and can also inherit the behavior specified by *user-command-table*.

You do not normally need to specify a unique resource-id: yourself. As with most other DUIM classes, the name: init-keyword serves as a sufficient unique identifier.
