I CHDIR"MMBASIC" and then RUN"MENU". It runs, but does NOT open the ICONS.DAT file. Should it? All I get is a bunch of empty squares. It creates a MENU.DAT file, however. I think that happened when I chose the Icon Editor. It was designed to be run in the root, usually renamed to AUTOSTART.BAS so it starts automatically on powerup. What's the point of a menu system that requires one to execute a bunch of commands just to run the menu? :) Unless AUTOSTART works from subdirs too? Either way, I don't make specific calls to the root directory so it should work from any default. I'll have to investigate. The empty squares at startup is normal. Have you defined any apps to run? If not, empty squares is all you get. (I'm still working on the psychic readings) You get to see the defined icons when you are entering a menu item and get to pick an icon from the icon palette.
