It's cascading menus and the ability to set directories are the best features that makes the program highly useful. I however have a few suggestions for a future version. First, moving cross the group (submenu) items seems rather slow. Second the items About Usher, Reload Usher and Close Usher could be put in a group to save some length because they are not among the most frequently used. The ability of putting seperating lines between items such as that found in BACKMENU (a right button menu utility) would make spoting items in a long list easier. To be used as a shell, I (daringly) think that some macro like programmability would be nice. This, of course, could be a rather big task. After all I think $15 contribution the Author asks is too low.
