When a bank is loaded into a list, each patch appears in this form :
	<nb> [<bk>-<x>] <name> 

<nb> is the number of the patch in the bank, beginning at 1.

<bk> correspond to one of the 10 "bank buttons" on the synth and is numbered
     from 0 to 9.

<x> is the number off a patch on the VFX page and is numbered from 1 to 6.


menu "list1" :
	New  :  This load an empty bank into the first list. A previously
		loaded bank in this list is erased.

	Open :  lets you choose a fileName containing a bank of 60 patchs
		and loads it into the 1st list.

	Save : Not implemented : Use "Save As" instead...

	Save As : lets you enter a filename in which you will save the bank
		  you edited in 1st list.

		click on it. A popup-window appears in which you can edit the
		name.

-------------------------------------

		This is very simple : select one or more patchs in 
		the 2nd list, select the destination into the first list,
		and just press the "Write" button.
		On the 2nd list, you can select or deselect a patch by
