Sorry I forgot on the first mail but I had sent another along with it.
Anyway here it is again.
With regards to autodetection what text should I check for ?
At the monent I am checking for comment
"# This is the default menu file for Blackbox 0.33.0 and up"
in the first line or
"[begin]"
in the first 5. What do people call there menu file ? This not a very
good way of catching all bbmenu files. For this reason I only include
the syntax file.
Hope you find it usefull
