Would you believe that back in time it actually used to work this way? It was a deliberate change by the developers at the time to prevent it. I remember reading a comment in the code somewhere... Multi page menus do actually work fine, it's where there are entire pages with nothing but "i" lines. This only happens where people attempt to put their content into a menu to make pseudo web pages. There are better ways to achieve in-text linking: gopher://gopher.icu:70/0/phlog/Computing/Smart-terminal-not-client.md I, like Nerd Kev, personally don't agree with people turning menus into pseudo web pages. Not only because it makes chunks of them largely unreadable in this client, it also prevents you using the email, print and download features. The protocol was designed to share files, not menus IMHO... Best regards, IanJ
