Raymond,

Thanks for the response! I neglected to mention that I'm now using an
HP 49g+ and would like to use a similar program for that calculator.
I will check www.hpcalc.org for such a program.

Hi Mark,

in case you don't find the Menu Label Builder on hpcalc,
I could send you the textual source,
which should be compilable right on your calc...

The program consists of pure SysRPL, no Saturn assembly this time,
so porting it to the doorstop series shouldn't be too difficult;-)

So what exactly is a menu label builder? I was 10 years old in
1992. . . :-)

It's a minimalistic graphics editor,
taylored for the 21x8 menu grobs of the HP-48 series.
While running the program, you can 'draw' on the work space,
and it'll simultaneously show your current drawing in normal
and inverse video on menu key locations, as a preview.

This program is very handy for creating custom menu grobs.

That is what I thought, but I thought it might be something more
complicated.
