Giving more screen real estate won't change that and it's non-trivial to ex= tend the code to allow items in the A-Z range. > BTW, I do like your menus, and could get used to > them.

One of the things I like about this new menu is that it restores the 8.x fu= nctionality that if you press "s", you immediately boot into single-user (u= nlike 9.0 and 9.1 where you'll have to press "s" then Enter -- if this patc= h makes it into HEAD in time for 9.2, I'll MFC and 9.2+ will act like 8.3 a= nd older). --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
