State University, Raleigh Lines: 12 Why not organize the system so that every menu has an extra entry. The 0th entry in the menu is always the default, but its content changes; it will duplicate one of the other entries in the menu, containing the last selection (or a default chosen by some other algorithm). In this way it is easy to repeat the last selection, but the positions of the entries don't change, and neither does the initial position of the cursor. -- *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR SIGNATURE *** Jon Mauney mcnc!ncsu!mauney C.S.
