If i get you right you want to handle your menu globally.
You can create a global collection or an array. To which each form adds itself and removes itself accordingly.
In Something()

FOR EACH loForm IN _SCREEN.Forms
	IF loForm.Name is found in the collection/array
		llFound = .T.
		EXIT
	ENDIF
ENDFOR

>That may work for a single menu item, but what if I want Something() to work for ALL menu items. Your suggestion would require Something() and SomethingElse() and MySomething()... One for each menu item because each would have different requirements.

All that the MenuController requires is the menu name, it doesn't even need to know the Prompt() (because Prompt() handles that.) But the only thing that is stopping the obejct from doing exactly what it is suppose to do, is the stupid SET SKIP OF on a menu item that already has a SKIP clause set doesn't work.
