Hi all, I have a bit of code below which displays a list of options a user can choose. The problem is, when the user clicks on the menu button, the screen cannot display all options on the screen. Is there an option which allows a display similar to CGI's "More... ->" ? Thanks in advance. Stacy. 

$category_menu_btn = 
  $category_menu_fr -> Menubutton(
            -width   => 29,
            -bg      => $bg_clr,
            -relief  => 'raised'
                     ) -> pack(-side => 'left', 
                                   -pady => '1');
  
my $category_menu = 
    $category_menu_btn -> Menu(
                   -tearoff => 0,
                  );
  
  $category_menu_btn -> configure(-menu => $category_menu);
  
  foreach $choice (@categories) {
    $category_menu -> add('command',
              -label   => $choice,
              -command => sub {
                $last_category = $choice;
                $category_menu_btn -> configure(
                -text => "$last_category",
                               );
                $changes_have_been_made = 1;
              },
             );
  } # next $choice.
