	What I meant in my article about the lack of vertical menus was
other than using a form kluge. I should have been clearer.  Still, let's
face it, its been >5 years since I4GL has been out and the only real
change to the 4GL's form/menu features has been the addition of windows.

	I could write a vertical menu program in curses in a day.  Hey,
informix, do you want to buy a vertical menu program ?
