Menu Compiler

Hello again, I was wondering how people feel about using a menu compiler. The input file is a text file with the names of the menu items, and the output is a file suitable for inclusion into your library. The input file has two-space indentations for sub menu items: File __New __Open __Save (like that without the underscores) The menu text file (somewhat like a script) is dragged into the compiler, where it is read and converted into commands like "AddMenuItem()" or something like that. The whole menu gets done (complete with skeletal events) in a matter of minutes, even with quite a few menu items. Of course there is '&' and '+' prefixing too. Any ideas/comments/likes/dislikes? Take care for now, Al
