Old dog - new tricks

[Howie]

FYI:

It's not too often that I learn of a feature that I didn't know about in
filepro but yesterday I did.

I think Joe Hirschman at Aljex discovered this one, I have no idea if it is
documented.

We needed to test some new code, running as a user, but when the user logs
in he is taken to a standard menu and cannot escape to the shell.

We didn't want to change the menu without testing the new code.

It seems that if you create or modify a filepro menu (DOS or UNIX) and add
an entry that has  a  choice, but leave the description blank and have an
action - the resulting menu does not show the choice but does allow you to
stop on what appears to be a blank entry and press enter to take the hidden
choice. You can also type in the choice to get to that menu entry

I wouldn't leave it that way for long but it was enough for us to test the
new code before making it available to the user.

Bug or feature?  I don't know but it is cute
