What I would like to do is allow the user (in some cases) to choose the area using a mnemonic letter or string of several letters, which are highlighted in each menu.
By the way, the kludge I mentioned wanting to try works! Sometimes it is slow, because it involves executing an external program.
Also by the way, I was considering the possibility of alternate file paths, if only because the docs say somewhere that each file area defined takes up RAM. Do you know how much RAM, or at what point this might begin to be a problem? Vertrauen must have well over a hundred. I recall from three years ago (before my disk crash) I was offering the contents of at least a dozen CDs, each as a library, and most of them had at least thirty areas. I don't recall that performance suffered. The trouble with alternate paths is that adding more than about eighteen in scfg is a real pain because the window keeps bouncing back to the eighteenth. Perhaps this is a bug easily fixed?
