In the January Amazing, there's an article on a Menu Builder utility that might be very useful. I'll never know. I should have realized I was in trouble when the title of the article was "MENU BUILDER!". Why the exclamation? There are five more exclamation points int he first three paragraphs, which take up a total of seventeen lines. I'm all for "informalizing" technical articles, but this is rediculous! IMHO, this article was edited badly, if at all. I'm willing (if not happy) to accept grammatical and punctuation errors in "specialty" magazines, but some things are so intrusive that they make reading the article a chore, rather than a pleasure. Flame Off. I subscribe to Amazing, and hopefully still subscribe to the Transactor, so I'm not just sitting on the sidelines sniping. /************************************************************ * * * Everything above is copyright me.
