    	Taking your advice I tried the 5-8 wps (waggles per second).  That   
   did not work.  I tried increasing the rate, to no avail.  I tried lowering   
   the rate - no go.   
    	It seemed so fruitless, when lo and behold!  Out of the 24 tries   
   tonight, I was finally able to get into the secret second menu once!  The   
   rate was not too slow but not up to 5-8 wps.   
    	I took a brief look.  The list of the second menu was the same as   
   that in the NTSC version:   
      
    	BASIC PROMPT   
    	MINIMA RELOADED   
    	SPLATFORM   
    	ASTROSTORM   
    	DWCAVE   
    	CLIFF DIVING   
    	TINYRINTH

    	Eager to duplicate my access into the secret screen, I   
   immediately reset the PAL DTV and tried waggling again.  I thought I   
   was using the same waggling rate that previously gave me success.  Yow!   
   Unsuccessful again and again and again.   
    	The method for entering the second screen is very unreliable.   
   I've given up for right now.  Thus I haven't been able to verify which   
   Easter eggs are still there or not.

    	Yes, going through the logo menus took a lot of time just to find   
   out whether my waggling accessed the secret screen.  As mentioned above,   
   the success rate was 1 in 24.

    	Jeri designed in the flash RAM.  Now someone else will have to   
   figure the method to connect to it and access it.
