Re:   ZCPR3 MENU QUESTION

Hello again Rick,

I have a question regarding ZCPR3 menu's.  They don't seem to 
behave like the ZCPR2 menu.  My hard disk system has several
named directories, each with its own menu.cpr.  Under ZCPR2,
I could invoke 'CD newdir' from the menu, and the new menu.cpr
in newdir would take over.

Under ZCPR3 I have a problem.  I renamed menu.cpr to menu.mnu.
While executing menu.com, the menu is displayed as before.  But,
when I ask for 'CD newdir:', it says its going to the new directory
(message from CD), but give's me the original menu, not the menu
in newdir.  Also, I don't seem to remain in 'newdir'.  Doing ^C
after the 'CD newdir:' command, I'm still in the original directory.

What is the correct way under ZCPR3 to move from one menu to another.
I tried the command 'cd newdir:;menu' which works, but installs one
shell over the other, i.e., ^c from newdir menu returns me back to
original menu, not >prompt.  Therefore, the stack will probably
overflow if I move freely from menu to menu?  What am I missing?

Thanks,

Doug.
