Re: Recompiling menus: DSPMNUA shows CMDLIN/DSPKEY settings and CHGMNU changes them

[vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Ah, I was looking only at *UIM-type menus, which do not show this - it is in 
their source, so they'd get created correctly. Also, *PGM-type menus would 
probably have a command line specified in source. So I see that the *DSPF-type 
does show this.

Thanks
