addition of the "A la carte" menus. Of course, there were other changes
that earlier participants in this discussion mentioned, but the menus
"added" an alternative to the command-line interface.---

As one of the earlier participants he mentions, I would add this piece of information: the
additional material for the Reference Guide that accompanied the transition to III+ is dated 1987.
The A la Carte Menus documentation is dated 1988. It's my memory, and I believe the documentation
supports it, that A la Carte was an addition to III+, not the occasion for its introduction or
naming.  A distinction that's, no doubt, of importance only to true XyQuest fanatics.
