- Rather tedious. I give you some hints. The HINT method of the Statusline is
- asked anytime the current helpcontext changes to return a help string. If you
- setup the menubar with help context numbers, the Hint can return helpstrings.

- Switch to graphics mode and switch back. Should be no problem.

- I have the specs, but as you are on internet I do not know how to send them to
