Subject: PowerMenu v2.2.3: A contextual menu utility

PowerMenu is a utility that adds powerful commands to your contextual
menu if you are running MacOS 8 or better. If you are running the older
Macintosh System 7, PowerMenu adds a contextual menu to your system so you
can still use this innovative feature without upgrading to MacOS 8.

Version 2.2.3 corrects a startup bug and greatly accelerates the drawing
of custom icons under MacOS 8.5.

PowerMenu's contextual menu commands let you do all these operations
with a single click:

- Open files straight into any application. If the application you want
to use isn't running, PowerMenu automatically launches it for you
- Move, copy or make an alias of files straight into target folders of
your choosing
- Quickly open commonly used files or launch any application

PowerMenu also provides these handy features:

- "File Copy and Paste", a unique feature that makes manipulating files
much easier. With File Copy and Paste, you can "pick up" files and "drop"
them into another folder without dragging and dropping. You can even
"gather" many files from different locations and copy or move them all to a
single target folder with just a few clicks or keystrokes!

- A pop-up menu, accessible from any application, that lets you quickly
open or launch your commonly used files and applications with a single
click.

PowerMenu is heavily customizable and is optimized for both Macintosh
and Power Macintosh computers, meaning it will run at full speed on whatever
model you use. PowerMenu requires MacOS 8.x, System 7.5.x, or System 7.1.x
with the Scriptable Finder installed. PowerMenu is $15US shareware.
