I hope that this selection will replace the current DISCONTIGMEM prompts
in the individual architectures. That way, you won't get a net increase
in the number of prompts. However, I do realize that architectures
without DISCONTIG see a new, relatively useless menu/prompt.
Is there a way to hide an entire "choice" menu? If there is, we can
certainly hide it when there's only one possible choice.
