See, this is what I like about it. :) I don't have a sense of the menu's
having a fixed bottom at all -- the bottom is just the last entry on
the menu, and I never really think about it unless I'm describing it to
someone else. I just don't think geographically about my mutt display,
I guess.
This is what I was trying to describe earlier -- I think there are two
different ways of mapping the character display into a model in one's
head. One is very visual, and one is more functional. I prefer to
think of it functionally, and it's harder for me to make sense of a
visual description.
I don't think I have anything new to say about it, though, so I'll quiet
up now. I've already used more than my share of floor time. :)
