	The only such menu that I know of is the menu for setting the
flags in the project's SIZE resource; this menu is accessible from the
Project Type dialog.

	No, and there's no good reason for them to do so. Backgroun
compilation is such a CPU-intensive task that it would slow down all of
the foreground tasks, and the foreground tasks will slow down compilation,
particularly if they don't give sufficient time via correct use of
WaitNextEvent.
