i remember mhit well.
generally, most folks thought the user interface had gone wrong
if you needed to handle such large lists in a menu. so there was
a mild cultural prejudice against such things.
however, i needed it for a couple of projects, including circuit layout
software. you can imagine selecting chips from such a menu
and so on.

The earliest version in the Eight Edition jerq code,
also has
one function in the NMenu structure which is called when the
mouse pointer invokes a hierarchical menu. By Ninth Edition
this has been expanded, with 3 functions, one as above, one
invoked when an item is selected ('hit') and one when a
hierarchical menu is exited.
In the jerq code directories, under 'lib/jj', is a small 'ms'
document, 'A Library of Goo for the 5620', which lists
routines available in the library, and their authors. Andrew
Hume is listed as the author of 'mhit'.
Are there examples of code using these three menu functions
('dfn', 'hfn', 'bfn')?
