Hello.  I have a some questions about the Amiga, which may seem elementary
to all you "experienced" programmers!  We just got it about a month ago, and
love it!  Anyway, I am writing a program in C using Intuition to do some
menus and requesters etc.  Two problems I've encountered, trivial but
frustrating, are
one, I can't figure out how to disable the menus when using an AutoRequester.
The Intuition manual only says to make the Item part of that menu's menu-
number equal to NOITEM, but how on earth do you do that??? I can't figure it
out.
Two, Upon experimenting with some different colours with requesters and menus,
which we have specified to compliment when selected.  But when I changed the
colours, now when I select a menu item it is an absolutely AWFUL green colour,
which persists no matter WHAT colours I choose except the defaults of the
original Workbench preferences.  I cannot find anwhere why that compliment
colour would be green!, or how to change that.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Beth Freeman.

thanks!
