Load Palette...
Load a palette from a file. Conk files and IFF ILBMs are supported.

Map Menu

This menu only appears on Map windows, and its commands apply to the Map in the active window.

Fix Background?
This is a checkmark menu item. When you check it, the contents of the Map at that time are locked. You can still draw over them as normal, but whenever a block is erased (ie drawn with the block value assigned to the right mouse button), the block that originally occupied that position is redrawn. This applies to all drawing tools.

Resize Map...
This lets you alter the dimensions of the Map. If you specify new dimensions smaller than the old ones, the right and/or bottom edges of the Map will be clipped. If you expand the Map, the new area will be filled with block zero.

Rename Map...
Lets you alter the Map name. This is the name that is stored in the chunk, not the filename.

Go To Bookmark
Jumps the display in the Map window to one of the ten user-defined bookmark positions. Pressing the number key corresponding to the bookmark you want to go to while holding down the right Amiga key has the same effect.

Set Bookmark
Stores the current position of the Map window as one of the bookmark positions. This can also be done by holding down the right Amiga key and SHIFT, then pressing the number key corresponding to the bookmark you want to set.

Window Menu

Open
Opens a new window. The window type is selected from the submenu.

Hide
Hides the current window.

Close
Close the current window.

Backdrop?
If ticked, the current window is made into a Backdrop window. Backdrop windows are always behind other windows.

Borderless?
Decides if the current window should have a border or not. Windows without borders can look messy unless you turn off the BorderGadgets and Title.

Title?
Toggles the title bar of the current window on or off.

BorderGadgets?
Allows you to remove the border gadgets of the current window.

Settings Menu

Make Backups?
When this option is set, backup (".bak") files will be made. When you open a file, make some changes and save it back over itself, the old file will be copied to a file of the same name appended with ".bak". It's generally a good idea to keep backups on.

"Set Settings...
Brings up the Screen Settings window.

Load Settings...
Load and use settings file.

Save Settings...
Save the current settings as the default "Bonk.cfg".

Save Settings As...
Save the current settings under a different filename.

Blockset Menu

This menu only appears with the Blocks window, and has only one option, "Rename Blockset". When selected, a requester comes up to let you change the name of the Blockset. This is the name used to reference the Blockset in a game.
