>>>looked at the PUSH/POP MENU in help. is does not sound like it would work for me. as the value of the SKIP FOR variables change, i want the appearance of the prompts to also change. i do not necessarily want to return to the previous menu. i searched alot of UT but could find nothing relevant. i am very puzzled.

>>You may try it anyway, it used to be helpful. You will PUSH/POP the same menu, just to make sure that it will catch new SKIP FOR variables. Surely, I assume that you have problems with menu pads, because menu bars should work Ok without this.
