Here's what I think will happen. Some peopl will chose it because it seems to make life simple. Then they'll want to do something the menus don't support. Then the author gets mail saying "why doesn't your menu ..." Then were are you? Back at the command line? Hopefully. Because the alternative, a fully capable menuing system, is far worse. Just goes to say there's no substitute for learning. On Mon, 13 May 2002, Charles Crawford wrote: > Jim, > > There is access not far off.
