>So just to make certain I am clear on the definitions, the selections that appear across the top when the menu is not in use are called PADS. Beneath those, the selections that open up other selections (the betweeners) are called popups, and the last selections in the tree are called bars. Would that be correct?

If my memory serves me well, yes :).

But then you can check the generated code for your menu (extension .spr) and see what sort of name applies to what.

>Surveys/Print is a popup.

Anywhere. Doesn't really matter, the menu is equally visible from anywhere. You put the code where you need it (and where you'll be able to find it when you need it).

I've never really used startup/cleanup code, because I was using my own data driven menus since '92. Same goes for most of the genmenu.prg's capabilities, just don't know.
