	The 'long catch-all menu' that you refer to is that long for a very
good reason - all items at the bottom of the menu are the MACROS that come with
Nisus in the file called Nisus Macros.  If you don't need some/all of thoise
features simply delete them from the Macro file, and feel free to add those that
you want.  I agree that unless you are aware, this looks REALLY bad.  I have a
lot of personal macros and when people come in and look over my shoulder they
'lose their lunch' over that interface blunder - which it really isn't.  If
nayone has a better way of putting up a list of the macros, feel free to let
me know and I'll pass it along to Paragon.
