RE: Dynamic part on a standard menu

I think a list panel in UIM could also provide you with dynamic menu 
options. It depends whether you want to spend the time learning UIM or not.

The value of this investment might be indicated by the fact that an RPG 
menu program could be web-faced while a UIM based program would have to be 
re-written.....
