- More questions about Built-in MENU grobs:
- MBUILDER, TDIR and ->TDIR are very nice programs to build your own menus, much
- like TMENU, but with directory structures. When these programs make the
- dir-label menu as a GROB it is not possible use REVIEW to see the directory
- name. That would be useful if the directory name is longer than what fits in
- the label. However, it is possible to REVIEW the dir-lables in the MTH menu.
- Before I try to figure this out myself, does anyone know how this is done in
- the MTH menu?
