I recently posted a program for Micol BASIC that did pull-down menus. Before I introduce the machine language version, I will be updating it and would like the communities view on how to implement one of the enhancements. How should I show that a menu item is dimmed? In MouseTalk (is it still sold?), the put a checkerboard pattern to the left and right of the menu item like so: Prog File Edit Tools WhoCares | Open | | Close @C | |X Delete @D X| |X Rename @R X| ---------------- The X's represent the checkerboard pattern. Do all of you recommend this method. If not, what would you prefer. NOTE: this program works in TEXT mode. \bye albert chin ... acmfiu@fiu.edu
