1: on the libMenu directory, please write a subroutine to exit the menu

sorry, I don't understand, can you exaplin what you want ?

I make that choice to allow user to modify menu entries on the fly :
you can update a menu entry in the WHILE loop without the need to redefine all.
also it provide much more flexibility (see below about toggle feature)

In general, for this kind of lib, I prefer to have more a kind of "oriented object" process => several methods. (even if it's not a class)
IMO, hppl does not provide enough flexibility to create a nice "procedural" oriented process (missing optional function argument).

This lib have been made on calc itself, hence not a lot of text,
but yes, good idea, next version will have more comment.
but as it is now, it's not very difficult to follow yet.

yes, that's an idea... not for the comming version but one of the next.

I already coded something like that : user can have more than 6 entries.
in that case the 6th is "next", by pressing "next" libMenu show you the next 5 entries.

for your info, on version 2, I am working on a toggle feature.
this will allow user to define entries like that

Code:

LibMenu.entry(3,"caption","function()"); // example of usual menu entry
LibMenu.toggle(4,"caption",0); // user can toggle from false(0) to true(1)
...
LibMenu.gettoggle(4); // return the toggle state, 0 or 1

if you have other ideas, you are welcomed.
