As Jochen says MENU_REXT is not free, but is supplied with QD and other programs.
MENU_REXT is supplied on the Q60 Software Package, which royalties are paid for the software inclusion. The Q60 and Q40 support disks never had MENU_REXT supplied for that reason. Why not do like I did and buy MENU_REXT out right and then get all the documentation to support all the great features of MENU_REXT. Read past issues of QL Today for documentation on SERNET and how to set up the network... is it worth another article I wonder or is the subject all "articled" out.
