!AWJan95/Goodies/Event/Examples/!TestMenu/TestMenu/HelpData

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

TestMenu
A not so simple test app to check out Alex Petrov's
excellent MenuUtil module for handling the menus.

Features demonstrated include creating font menus,
the use of 'popup' menus for easy selection of
choices and the creation of menus from a text file.

Try editing the file 'menufile' inside the application
directory. This technique is very useful for lists
of data that can be easily edited by the user.
