I have now changed it so that if there is only one subprogram the menu
items are the full "WORKING-STORAGE SECTION", "FILE SECTION" etc, but if
there is more than one every subprogram's items are listed under the
respective subprogram name.

Done.

Done.

And done :)

I discovered another thing I had overlooked: There need not be
paragraphs (or sections or whatever they're called) in the procedure
division. Some programs just have the code directly there. So now the
procedure division itself gets an entry under "PROCEDURE DIVISION" or
"$subprogram_name PD" with the name of the subprogram/function. WDYT?

I took the liberty of hacking up something :) That's the last three
functions in the file. It's very ugly and I did it mostly to see if it
could work, and well, it seems to work a little at least.
