	Read what I wrote. It *adjusts* *the* *menu* *rectangle*. This means
that the rectangle gets shifted up if it's at the bottom of the screen,
down if it's at  the top, and so forth. In fact, I believe the stanard MDEF
does this. The point is, no items get truncated, and you can always scroll
the full range of of items.

	An example of this MDEF is the font menu in LightspeedC 3.0's
font selection dialog.
