Hello, Gordon

The same approach can be used to do more than that. Intimately, menu designer gathers the strings written in those texboxes (when one define menu bars) and generate a single string.

The syntax for define bar is:

DEFINE BAR nMenuItemNumber1 | SystemItemName OF MenuName 
   PROMPT cMenuItemText [PICTURE cFileName] [PICTRES cMenubarName]
   [BEFORE nMenuItemNumber2 | AFTER nMenuItemNumber3]
   [FONT cFontName [, nFontSize]] [STYLE cFontStyle]
   [KEY KeyLabel [, cKeyText]] [MARK cMarkCharacter]
   [MESSAGE cMessageText] [SKIP [FOR lExpression]] 
   [COLOR SCHEME nSchemeNumber | COLOR ColorPairList] 
   [MRU] [INVERT]

If one writes in the 'Message' text box the following:

'' FONT 'Courier New' COLOR whatever colorpair PICTURE filename INVERT

the menu designer will include that string. Of course, you can play with that (include only some of the clauses). The point is, the programmer isn't limited only to the options included in Menu Designer's interface.

Hope this helps
