Steve, I've tried all the files you mentioned… and I *love* QEdit. What I did was to chop up the MNU file into managable pieces, each about 100K. Then i wrote a one-line batch file to copy+ them together. Since the order of the parts doesn't really matter, I arranged it to suit me: pops, screen, tab1, 2, 3, 4, submenus1, 2, 3, 4, iconmenus. In this way I simply edit the part that I need to and recombine them. To create the parts, I loaded as much of the MNU as I could in QEdit, and since you can't save a partially loaded file (nor load the rest of it), I wrote out blocks as needed. Then using EDLIN, I loaded the file again and deleted the first several thousand lines (which I had blocked out already), appending as I went, until I had a truncated remainder of the file which QEdit would load. If you didn't want to go through this half-hour exercise, you could try to get GEdit, by Gazelle the makers of QDos 3 (which comes with GEdit). Oh well, this was one way of doing it! <g> Brian
