Is there a front-end tool for defining/editing mh items/events?
Not yet, but you can now define items/events in a table-like format. This should allow us to enable a gui or web based front end tools for editing. Currently we have defined just one format defined, creativly named A, but other formats (e.g. XML) should be easy to implement. To use, create one or more *.mht (mh table) files in your code directory, specifying the table format with Format=A at the top of the table. Then mh will process (on starup and reload) each record with mh/lib/read_table_A.pl, to create *.mhp (mh processed) files, which are then processed with all your other mh *.pl code files. Examples are in mh/code/bruce/*.mht and mh/code/test/*.mht. If you want to create another table format, all you need to do is create a mh/lib/read_table_xyz.pl member, then set Format=xyz.
