I'm having a spot of bother with Application Window menus in Easyptr -
can anyone help?

If I set up a simple menu in app window 1 based on an array like DIM
array$(36,200) and call it with

MDRAW #0,"flp1_mymenu_menu"
MAWDRAW #0,1,array$

all seems well. Even if I split the array, it seems to work:

MAWDRAW #0,1,array$(0 to 10)

What doesn't seem to work though is when it stops being a 2
dimensional array:

MAWDRAW #0,1,array$(0 to 0)

This is used to display and select a list of filenames on a disk and
the problem happens when there is only one file on a disk (see my
MakeDirs and SystemSet program file menus). I am currently using a
workaround based on:

MAWDRAW #0,1,array$(0 to 0+(number_of_files=1))
IF number_of_files = 1 THEN
  REMark set status of second item in list to unavailable
  stat% = MSTAT%(#0,65536*2+1,-1)
END IF

(apologies to non-easyptr users, the above code will be totally
meaningless).

Anyone any idea will app window menus in Easyptr will not display a
single item list (1x1) correctly?

The workaround does work, and is what I'll use in my program if nobody
comes up with a better solution to avoid having to test for a unique
situation each time.
