Hi, I want learn how to execute any menu command using the FrontEndExecute and FrontEndToken commands from the input prompt. The problem I'm finding is that not all commands, as named in the menus, seem to execute this way. For example, when I enter FrontEndExecute[FrontEndToken["New"]], it opens a new notebook, but when I enter FrontEndExecute[FrontEndToken["Size"]], nothing seems to happen. When I went to the help system under FrontEndToken, it says: "The mapping between command tokens and menu items or keyboard shortcuts is defined in front end text resource files." I'm not sure what they mean "front end text resource files." Can someone help me out? Thanks
