I can offer no solution, only more confusion. There is a limit for WMAN and thus for MAWDRAW of 32K menu items, in your case of 4 columns by 480 rows this is well within the limits. In my Suqcess program I can have an array of 500 or more rows, so the 480 is not the problem. My tests point the finger at the 80 characters per item. When I have an array of 9 columns with 500 rows and 78 chr, all is well, but making that 80 chrs and the display is a mess. What I see in the cell has no relation to what should be there. This display mess does not happen with QPTR (I tried a 3 by 500 by 120 array) so MAWDRAW seems the culprit. Of course the bigger the array, the more memory is needed and it takes more time to process. We need answers from someone with inside knowledge of MAWDRAW. (Could that be Marcel K.?)
