I then bring up menus (and allow access to the screen gadgets) by watching the mouse buttons. It's a shame that the Amiga only allows EXACTLY enough lines (200) to get 25 rows of text on the screen. I would have liked to see a screen size that would give you this much room WITHOUT obscuring the top border of the screen, as the Mac does -- however, when I try to increase the height (or tell Intuition to make a larger window) the Guru emerges in a puff of red phosphor. Sigh.
