Bonjour Eric, You are right, Menuhistory is not perfect, but if you have a simple static menu (99% of my menus are static), this is the best way. After, if you want to have an advanced menu, (eg: with sub menu), menuhistory is not made for that, but lineoffset or a custom repeat are better

Hi all, Hi Bill, Klaus, Rev always interprets the minus character as a divider line, even if it is not the only character in that menuitem. This should be doable somehow, right? Any hints (and not too kludgy workarounds) are extremely welcome! It seemed to work fine for me when I used -30 .
