Hey, the thing is only half a day old. Don't know - just tried it and it worked. I guess each form would restore the menu position where it was called from (if any), or the last menu position - depending on the behavior of the popup() function, when does it reset etc. I haven't played with that function for more than a year. We could add a couple of properties here, like restoring the popup only if the form was modal, or if the form is the only active form (apart from toolbars) etc etc. This is just a skeleton.
