I decided that it wasn't worth it to make all the menus common. So the new setup is that the bbmenu file now contains two menu types: bbmenu for all the menus except configuration, and now there's bbmenuconf for the configuration and the advanced configuration. One trade-off was required. (Please don't make me have to fix it): The Advanced menus is now in the Main menu and no longer in the Configuration menu. Like I said about he bbmenu function, that there's some serious eval/quoting/syntax games going on. Whatever I said about bbmenu is about an order of magnitude more (ahem) interesting in bbmenuconf. All this stuff is currently inadequately documented. I'll try and tickle some more betterer comments in ahead. Also, I decided that the edit, install, run cycle was getting four keystrokes more tedious than it needed to be so (at least for now) I added a -y option to Install.sh which will make it think you said yes to the question that it no longer has to ask you. All questions are more than welcome, but for now it's bedtime, we're in the middle of a hurricane, and I still have to let the dogs out before I can knock off for the night.

Two same things: If you go into an option in either of the config menus, and just press [ENTER] to exit without changing it, the value gets set to NULL i.e. ()* If you go into an option in the advanced config, none of the help text is/are displayed.

I changed this so that you had the ability to be able to set a value to null. Prior to this, I set a variable to null and then found I couldn't set it back. =>If you go into an option in the advanced config, none of the help text =>is/are displayed. You're right. I'll look at at it. -- steveo at syslang dot net TMMP1 http://frambors.syslang.net/ Do you have neighbors who are not frambors? Steven W. Orr |

It's good to be able to hit return and mean "Excuse me, I didn't mean to hit this." But we also need a way to set something to a null value. So The New Deal goes like this: * Hit return (empty text) and that gets you out without making a change. * Supply the escape string "" (i.e., two double quotes) and bb knows you want to set to the null string. -- Time flies like the wind.
