The menu should be the same every time you start crawl. I'm fine with the selection pointing at the most recently used option; that's a well-established behavior. One sudden gust of insight: a more extreme change would be to do this same thing for savegames as well -- display only the character names, spaced out, on a few lines. The complete game description could be displayed as a hint line (the same line would hold brief explanations of the other options, of course). > David -Wm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forrester recently released a report on the Return on Investment (ROI) of Google Apps.
