=>Two more 'issues'.
=>
=>The main menu sometimes prints garbage.  To replicate:
=>
=>Start BB
=>
=>go to configuration menu (5).
=>
=>Change something (do not APPLY).
=>
=>Change something else (do not APPLY).
=>
=>You now have two values marked ()*
=>
=>Revert changes - exit configuration menu.
=>
=>The main menu item 0 now has garbage from the last reverted $VAR
=>
=>Also, if 'revert' is used, and you do then exit the menu, BB still
=>has the 'BB_CONFIG_MODIFIED' flag set when it shouldn't, so you
=>still have to go through the 'really sure' dialogue.  This should only
=>happen if a change is made and 'revert' is NOT used before exiting.

As described earlier, I changed bbconfmenu around so that we are now 
passing in the name of the array instead of the array values. It works and 
it solves that particular problem. Here's what's still left:

* Nick, the problem you described above where you revert and then try to 
go Back is now fixed, but the problem with funny characters in the Main 
menu are still appearing. Manyana.

* Also, this whole changing BBLANG thing is a bigger schmageggy than you 
might think. The way this is going to have to work is that I'm going to 
have to create a new global variable which will be a stack of variable 
names. The general solution won't buy us anything so maybe a simple list 
is all we really need. But the point is that there's more to this. The 
converversion I did tonight will also have to be done to bbmenu the same 
as it was done to bbconfmenu, and for the same reason.

Is this making sense? I could get hit by a bus and I sort of hope that 
someone is picking this stuff up.

Also, Markus, small syntax problem in lang/German/configure.lang. Please 
make sure you update.

Bedtime.
