I'm trying to figure out a fix for the sticky menus problem. How to remove a sticky menu: use the *left* button to select an menu item then "roll" the selection off the menu. The menu will go away. The problem: The Windows function TrackPopupMenu, which handles the menu after I bring it up, looks for left button events to select items on the menu. This includes removing the menu from the screen. I've tried a couple of tricks to fool TrackPopupMenu with little success. But don't worry - I'll find something since (I'll admit) the current sticky menu implementation is kind of a pain. Windows doesn't really support "sticky" menus so I'm having a hard time. A, potentially, bigger problem: there seems to be some conflict with Usher and QEMM when used in Real Mode Windows. This seems to be a QEMM problem since Usher works fine with HIMEM.SYS. What's strange is that some users have had no problems using QEMM with Usher and Real Mode! Anyway, if you experience this problem please let me know (and report your system configuration please). Try HIMEM.SYS and tell me if that fixes the problem. Thanks for your support (and your patience), george (Mr. Usher) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | o | George Browning george@catt.ncsu.edu | o | | o | NC State University Raleigh, NC | o | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
