This class implements the little filename button in the top-right hand side of drscheme’s frame.

> (make-object drscheme:frame:name-message% parent)
> → (is-a?/c drscheme:frame:name-message%)
> parent : (is-a?/c area-container<%>)

> (send a-drscheme:frame:name-message set-message |  | name |
> |  | short-name) |

> short-name : string?

> Specification: Sets the names that the button shows.

> → void?

> Overrides edit-menu:between-find-and-preferences in frame:standard-menus<%>.
> Adds a separator-menu-item%. Next, adds the "Keybindings" menu item to the edit menu. Finally, if the current-eventspace-has-standard-menus? procedure returns #f, creates another separator-menu-item%.

> (send a-drscheme:frame:basics file-menu:between-open-and-revert file-menu)
> → void?
> file-menu : (is-a?/c menu%)

> Overrides file-menu:between-open-and-revert in frame:standard-menus<%>.
> Adds an “Install .plt File...” menu item, which downloads and installs .plt files from the web, or installs them from the local disk. After that, calls the super method.

> → void?
> file-menu : (is-a?/c menu%)

> Overrides file-menu:between-print-and-close in frame:standard-menus<%>.
> Calls the super method. Then, creates a menu item for multi-file searching. Finally, adds a separator-menu-item%.

> (send a-drscheme:frame:basics file-menu:new-callback |  | item |
> |  | evt) |

> → void?
> item : (is-a?/c menu-item%)
> evt : (is-a?/c control-event%)

> Overrides file-menu:new-callback in frame:standard-menus<%>.
> Opens a new, empty DrScheme window.

> (send a-drscheme:frame:basics file-menu:new-string) → string?

> Overrides file-menu:new-string in frame:standard-menus<%>.
> Returns the empty string.

> (send a-drscheme:frame:basics file-menu:open-callback |  | item |
> |  | evt) |

> → void?
> item : (is-a?/c menu-item%)
> evt : (is-a?/c control-event%)

> Overrides file-menu:open-callback in frame:standard-menus<%>.
> Calls handler:edit-file.

> (send a-drscheme:frame:basics file-menu:open-string) → string?

> Overrides file-menu:open-string in frame:standard-menus<%>.
> Returns the empty string.

> (send a-drscheme:frame:basics get-additional-important-urls)

> (send a-drscheme:frame: add-show-menu-items show-menu) → void?
> show-menu : (is-a?/c menu%)

> (send a-drscheme:frame: not-running) → void?

> updates the status pane at the bottom of the window to show that evaluation is not taking place in the user’s program.

> (send a-drscheme:frame: running) → void?

> updates the status pane at the bottom of the window to show that evaluation is taking place in the user’s program.

> (send a-drscheme:frame: update-shown) → void?
