Hi folks,

On my RiscPC, I had something which, when you were invoking a menu near
the right hand edge of he screen, the arrows would point left instead of
right so you could still access the sub-menus.

I don't think it was an app; I suspect it was a module. I've searched
diligently in the RiscPC Boot but can find nothing with a name that gives
me a clue.

Can anyone remember what this useful piece of kit was?

I'd like to see if it is 32 bit safe and try it on R5.

Cheers,

--
Chris

Hi Chris,

Wasn't this a feature of RISC OS 6?

Dunno, but...

Smartmenu opens submenus to the left when menus are opened beyond a

The one I have is a RISC OS 6 thing, controlled by "Configuration-
Windows" and from the sub menu "Windows" Menu slide.
