Re: Compiling menus via WDSc

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never done prompting in either so I can't specifically answer that 
question, but my guess is that, whatever you can do with a regular menu 
(except, as Vern pointed out, multi-columns) you can do with UIM.  And a 
few more things, like context sensitive help; put the cursor on a menu 
option and press F1. 

I've never come across a tool for conversion.  I use a template that I 
use when I re-build a menu as UIM.  Since I don't do one from scratch 
too often, it's OK.  But a tool for, at least, building them (like SDA) 
would be nice.  Very nice.
