Nothing in the Test menu is, or will be, documented.

Re: What is Add test page items?
I'm starting to think that Snyder described the entire software, and you are the one implementing it.

Which you know very well is false. Hopefully you’re finished trolling now. If not, well…

Re: What is Add test page items?
I presume this is because the purpose of the Test menu is to assist personnel developing Geocart in debugging the program. In that case, I am rather surprised that the Test menu is even visible in the product as shipped.
I am aware that the objection may be raised that removing the Test menu from the program, and recompiling it, is a change to the program, which may introduce new bugs that could no longer be dealt with. However, there are other well-known techniques, such as making it accessible by means of a code within the serial number and corresponding license activation key.

Oh, the test menu isn’t available to customers in the product. I presume Piotr scanned the executable, worked out the incantations required to enable the menu, and perhaps was hoping to be praised for his cleverness. Or something.
Or, maybe there’s some bug that exposes the menu. I don’t see any way that would happen, though.

One good thing has come out of this: in searching for the routine from Singing in the Rain, I Iearned that the tongue-twister had been around long before the movie was made.
