Re: [chris@beezer.med.miami.edu: Re: What's wrong with bluefish?]
ok, I've got a solution here...
revert back to the old fugly way of doing it. It takes the pointers out of
the menu stuff and sticks them elsewhere which would allow this to work
correctly. although I don't like doing this, at least I can inflict
bluefish on alphas now ;)
