I would like to have submenus for, say, CDEVs, DAs, Applications, and >Folders, rather than having a single list of probably more than 100 items. [says HI's sample users thought it was confusing] So, it's not going in, even though some people inside and out of Apple have asked for it. I suspect they're making the right decision because it keeps the idea much less complicated and much closer to the existing Apple menu. Sounds very reasonable. Recall that, currently, a submenu to a DA is that DA's menu--your suggestion would break that. Of course, since that's an add-on (DAmenuz), Apple might ignore it. Anybody know who wrote DAmenuz? (I'm sure it's in the info in the cdev, but I haven't used it in a while--haven't got my own Mac, so I can't run whatever cdev I want. :-) I'm wondering if he's planning to make it work under Sys7--if so, maybe we could have submenus being app's menubars! :-) -- /============================================================================\ | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.
