    Only with MPL or Python scripts... a "normal" Mystic menu, can't do that.

    Have you thought of using a second column in your menu? or it has to be 1 column that scrolls?

    Thanks for the hint. The quick menu makes a good impression. My question
    would be if one can also use several commands for an entry? In my case, I
    would like to first select (FA) File Area and then output them using (FL).
    How should I create the entry in the .ini file?
    Many Thanks

    in the ini, you can use one command per entry... but you can make this command to execute another script python or mpl, so in this case you can launch infinite commands per entry ;]

    Put as command a GX and execute another script which inside it can have multiple menucmd commands. ex.

    begin
    menucmd('FA'...
    menucmd('FL'....
    etc.
    end;

    Okay for an entry that would go fine, but with 40 - 50 menu entries, I would then have to write 40 - 50 Python files that can each have a different
    Filearea lists. Since I have created my entire Filebase on menus, this is probably not the best option. Anyways thanks for your help

    at the moment..... no other alternatives ... the Problem is that the Filbase
    in Mystic only have a group and areas...... better for me where group - undergroup - undergroup - areas.....
