Well, I can't get it out before Christmas... But I was working on a program just like this, with a few extras (most importantly, source). My idea is to have user definable menus be definable in a text file, support WorkBench (Workbench, workBench?) and CLI programs, both with arguments, and some built-in commands (mainly so I don't have to run gobs of utilities) such as window iconify, diskchange, etc. Of course, since I program for fun, it takes awhile to finish anything. Of course, Workbench 1.4 will have this (just a rumor :-). -- Darin Johnson (leadsv!laic!darin@pyramid.pyramid.com) "It's true, the world's not perfect... But we've submitted an SPR"
