The trouble with XPL programs is that you must find phrase keys or keyboard combinations to run them from - and then you must remember what keys you've put them on. I have written a menu program, called OVHLMENU, which gets round these problems. It is very easy to use. You simply: 1) Make a list of programs you want to run. Add a brief description of what they do. Save the list as PROGRAM.LST 2) Find a free key in your keyboard tables and put this line on it: bc,r,u,n, ,\,n,b,4,\,x,p,l,\,o,v,h,l,m,e,n,u,xc. Save and reload your keyboard file. 3) To run any program on your list, strike your OVHLMENU key combination. - the list of programs & short descriptions appears in a window. - highlight the name of a program, and strike . It will run. Advantages: a) You need not remember the phrase keys or key combinations that hold your programs. b) The descriptions remind you of what the programs do c) You can run programs with fewer keystrokes. d) You release the keys/phrases that formerly held one program apiece. e) You can run all your XPL programs from this one list. f) Alternatively, you can build multiple versions of OVHLMENU into [PROGRAM.LST...the master file??], each displaying and running a set of XPL programs. For instance, you could have one group for programs you use while editing files, another for email, another for programming. [I don't know if the wording is right here; I've not yet tried this. Is PROGRAM.LST the master file?] g) Memory usage is far more efficient
