I hope I'm not getting confused, here.

You say that the menu is loaded before your READ EVENTS.
You listed your PRG as being something like:

> DO FORM2 NOSHOW
> DO FORM1
> READ EVENTS

You also say that you added a menu pad that calls (this) PRG.

Are there 2 READ EVENTS being called here? Or does the PRG just issue the DO FORM commands?

DO MyMenu.mpr
