need to wrap Tk menu with many items

[minkie]

I have a script that generates a wish/Tk menu.

Some of the menus have many items and they drop off the bottom of the screen.

Is there any way to get the menu to wrap to a second column?

Thanks,
Mike.

example code:

menu .live.sybase.server1 -tearoff 0
foreach account { a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s }
{ .live.sybase.server1 add command -label $account -command "connect-x live server1 $account" }

I think you are after -columnbreak.
From the menu page of the Tk manual:
pathName add type ?option value option value ...?
Add a new entry to the bottom of the menu. The new entry's type is given by type and must be one of cascade, checkbutton, command, radiobutton, or separator, or a unique abbreviation of one of the above. If additional arguments are present, they specify any of the following options:
-columnbreak value
When this option is zero, the appears below the previous entry. When this option is one, the menu appears at the top of a new column in the menu.
