What happens when an Intuition menu is longer than the screen
is high?  I only remember Deluxe Paint crashing way back in
the mists of time when that happened.  In particular, how
does Workbench 2.0 treat this situation.  I may have a 
need/desire for immense menus, and would like to know if
(a) there is OS support, or (b) I can somehow program
something like the Mac-style scrolling menus.  That is,
when the menu approaches the bottom of the screen,  a little
arrow is shown; when the mouse is held over this arrow at
the low end of the menu, the menu items scroll up.
An equivalent is fine, of course.

Any knowledge?  Any ideas?  This beginning Amiga programmer
thanks you.
