Hello there,

You're right, i should probably create a menu editor, but the
compiler makes it so easy im not sure if i need that.
You create a menu from text typed into an ordinary file
that is then dragged into the compiler.  The output is
then a menu file (.ew) that gets included in your actual
app with 'include mymenu.ew'.
Takes about 5 mins or so 
What i do need is an output format that is compatible with
the WinClass C++ Style Windows Library, as im finding out
that that style of programming is extremely fast and powerful
because it's got features similar to C++, where you include
class files you need and dont include class files you dont need,
and reviewing any particular file is quite fast also because they
are usually pretty small files, and object types are quite obvious
because you always know what kind of thing it is you are coding for.
In any case, the output of the menu 'writer' has to be compatible.

Take care for now,
Al
