🚀 go-pugleaf

With help and a little bit of work, I finally implemented
the right justified menu items.  For some reason, 
appending a blank menu item with a hglue(fil,0,fil) caused
my program to crash while trying to display it.  I fixed
this problem by using hglue(9.0E6,0,9.0E6).  I guess menu
append has problems with fil (ie. 10.0E6).  To prevent the
menubar from filling the screen, I used layout->h_natural_span
to set the natural size of the menubar. 


Unfortunately, I still can't resolve my problem
with the Field Editors.  To refresh your memory, the
following is an excerpt of the response:

Now, when trying to implement the targeting scheme, I received
compiler errors.  "back" is not a member function of LayoutKit.
Scanning the other member functions available in LayoutKit, I 
tried using "overlay".  So instead of using "layout->back", I used
"layout->overlay".  I included the glyph I wanted into the
"inset_frame" parameter.  I then included the whole thing in 
a box.  It of course compiled, but didn't solve my problem.  The 
FieldEditor is still only live when the arrow is within the editor 
itself.  I'm pretty sure that I must be interpretting something
wrong.  I have one idea of deriving a new class from FieldEditor,
but it's not pretty.

By the way, I'm currently using IV3.1 Beta 2 on ULTRIX with the Xlib
from DEC (if that helps any).



Thanks.
