The menu bar is entirely mouseable. With an enhanced display it's attractive. Adding radio buttons for various selections and choices is huge improvement over 24 function keys. The implementation is difficult partly because so many shops that haven't had a terminal on premises for years still insist on programming for the lowest possible configuration. How many people still won't use yellow for a color because of column separators, for example? _______________________ Booth Martin Booth@MartinVT.com http://www.MartinVT.com _______________________ "James W.

Don't go there. Run fast, run far. Why not just place F7=Edit paragraph at the bottom of the screen? If someone wants to edit a paragraph what do they have to do? Place the cursor, press a key to activate the menu bar, press another key to activate the function they want. IMHO, skip the menu bar. Place the cursor, press F7.
