Hi!

Yes. Menu, submenu, each menu bar of menu have its own identification. You can access any of them and create new items in menus on the fly, as well as delete them by release command, or change certain properties, like SKIP condition by SET SKIP OF command. Menu generator generate all these names using unique name generator (sys() function that I do not remember number of ;), but you can use your own more friendly name.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
