Currently, handlers of pulldown items (as well as pointers to TEXTAREA
lines, etc.) have to be stored in conventional memory - I have to figure
out how to store them in XSWAP. And it statical array, because I am too
lazy programmer to do everything dynamicaly ;-) So 1000 items means 2000
KB of DOS memory occoupied by each occurance of pull-down menu... usin 50
<SELECT> tags on some page is currently very straightforward way to crash
DOS build of Arachne :-(
So I am sorry, but more then 1000 items in pulldown menu won't be
available anytime soon.
