Re: ?menu?

When a capability exists, you sometimes end up using it in creative ways, and
can end up hurting when migrating to another reality that does not have that
capability.

In the 400 world, we can be looking at something that looks like a menu, but
it is really a screen from a program.

The same kind of function is often used in programs communicating with each
other either via the LDA or via some passed parameter.  One program can call
any one of a large number of other programs.  Many other programs can call a
large list.  The lists overlap.  A user can go back OR take function key to
some place else, with parameters populated with where they wanted to go.

When the job stream starts you can RTV a lot of stuff, but I do not believe
Menu is one of them.  However, if your Menus are all programs & you are
careful with naming conventions, you can get similar results.
