Is MenuMessage available in a PRG that's been SET PROCEDURE TO?

I have a menu that uses this, it works OK. In the message box for the menu option I have something like:

MnuMessage("About")

And in the code for the function I have:

Function MnuMessage
LParameters tcMsg
   Do Case
   Case tcMsg = "About"
      lcRet = "General Info about this application"
   *!* ...etc.
   EndCase
Return lcRet

HTH
