 *
 *        Hi, All!
 *
 *    Some time ago in my mind grew up one idea which found its
 *  implementation in following peace of code. The main idea is
 *  simple as 2by2is4 - processing menu.
 *    After looking at this source you maight find yourself
 *  wondering - what's up with this Laat, why's he doing all the
 *  things so complicated? Well, my answer is - you can
 *  cut/change/combinate this prog till you feel good and
 *  statisfied. Anyway, i made this version of program for
 *  myself, not even for use, just for seeing how these things
 *  look like meanwhile writing program.
 *    So, it is slightly possible that i will post some new (well,
 *  that depends on how to look at this topic) source with simplified
 *  version of menu rocessing.
 *
 *              As Yours as you want me to be,
 *                                        Laat
 *
 *                                              15/11/97
