[comp.databases] R:Base 3.1 for DOS question

jas@ISI.EDU (Jeff Sullivan) (04/04/91)

Here's my RBASE question:

In using pulldown menus, I would like the starting menu selection
to be the previously selected item.  Currently, it goes back
to the first item of the first pulldown menu every CHOOSE.

For example, suppose I have the following pulldown:

        --1--    --2--   --3--  Exit
         1A        2A      3A
         1B        2B      3B
         1C                3C
         1D

After selecting 3B, say, and whatever it is supposed to do happens, I
would like 3B to again be highlighted when the user is prompted
for a selection.  Currently, it goes to 1A every time.

The R:BASE main menu works the way I want and it is supposed to
be an instance of a pulldown, so it seems there should be a way
to do this.
