# Compact Menus And More Savings

The display menu and edit menu each consist of several sections. | prefer to see as many options at one time as possible. Also, if you have a long search command (more than one line long) you will run into a problem with the screen SCROLL. These changes solve both situations and save about 350 bytes as well.

Remember that you now use “G” to return from the display menu to the main menu instead of “N”!
