not sure what you mean by ``pick lists (menus)'' and how these differ
from other menus, but....

>UltraWin is very nice, but no pick lists.

what version of UltraWin are you working with?  the current version is
version 2.10, and when you register, you get full src (so you can add
anything you happen to need if you're so inclined).

I've had very good experiences with the folks at EnQue, and have found
their support to be very good (I'm a registered user of both UltraWin
and their latest lib, a communications library called EnCom).  in fact,
while EnCom was still in its final Beta stage, I needed a feature added
(bi-directional hardware flow control) --- they took down a description
of what I needed over the phone, researched it a bit more (just to be
thorough, and a few days later, called me back to let me know it was done,
and that I should D/L the new copy from the BBS.

you might have the same luck with your ``pick lists'' if you ask.

assuming my old phone listing is right, the number for their BBS is
816-353-0991.

NOTE:  I have no association with EnQue other than being a very satisfied
customer.

hope this helps.
