I have a small problem in regards to the program backmenu, available from cica. The program works fine (for those of you who don't know what it does, it allows a user definable menu to pop up when you press the right mouse button in the workspace, i.e. not in any window). The problem I have is that when I choose to remove it from memory, it really dosen't remove itself. Clicking again on the icon tells me that "Backmenu is already running" and hDC MicroApps Memory Viewer still shows it as being in memory. How can I remove this bad boy from memory? Or restart it after "removing it from memory"? Thanks for any info, Iqbal

The removal/reload case was one that I assumed would work and so didn't bother to test (and I call myself a programmer). Anyway, I've fixed the problem, and will upload a new version to cica asap. I've also restructured the program so it should work ok on EMS systems (but again I've not been able to test this fully as all our machines run in 386 mode). Flame me if it doesn't work still. Ian

Well, I don't know about BackMenu anymore. After switching to real mode (from enhanced, to use Excel) Windows would die: Everything in my load= line would be loaded *except backmenu* and I would get an hourglass pointer permanently. Note this only happened in real mode, backmenu works in 386 mode fine (except for the previous problem). Well, I tried running backmenu directly, and it would freeze up again, so I've killed backmenu completely and am waiting to get this new version to see what's it does. Iqbal
