        Thanks for the advice, Graham.

        The only change I've made to MPLAB is some of the key mappings -
        I don't like having BUILD next to RUN, particularly as
        in 3.40 a new BUILD clears all breakpoints.

        What I meant    when I said the the Menu bar takes two lines instead
        of one  is that where it says "File   Project   Edit ..." it looks like
        this line wraps onto the next line but with no text on the second
        line - so when I load a project file, my code windows etc don't
        fit in the (now smaller) client area. I use 1024x768 and the menu
        bar text extends less than half way across the screen.

        This only ever happens with MPLAB, and I've not seen it
        happen with PFE (which MPLAB is based on), but I really don't
        use PFE very often. But it doesn't bother me enough to
        warrant spending the time on fixing it. What I know about Win95
        programming would fit in a box of matches, probably WITH the matches.

        I've checked the toolbar setup and the button size is automatic
        and is being set to large.      FWIW I'll set it to medium and see
        what happens.
