Hi Mark,

I did the same thing you recommended to test it and it worked. Then I set out to determine why it WASN'T working in my app.

The answer? Well, the PHILONLY menu was actually a copy of the main app menu's .MP* files (since I already had the needed options there) that was remaned and stripped of the unneeded pads.

What I failed to realize was that for the PHILONLY menu, the pad name was still "File" as was the first pad in the main app menu. So instead of appending it, it simply replaced the File pad in the main app menu with the one in PHILONLY.



Many thanks to you and Jim for your persistence!!
