In article <1432@ubc-cs.UUCP> manis@ubc-cs.UUCP (Vincent Manis) discusses desk accessories, implying that they cannot have menus. Actually, there is no problem with menus (CONTROL.ACC and EMULATOR.ACC both have menus. However, it may well be the case that they can't have separate resource files. Thus, you have to roll your own menu data structure, which is moderately painful, but not impossible. As Vincent noted, the Sybex book is very useful in this regard. Sources to a "desktop" accessory were posted to comp.sys.atari.st a few months ago. It didn't have a menu, but the interaction with Gem was fairly clear. Martin Minow decvax!minoha
