John,

I believe you can only return the name of MENU()when it is active... but, if you really need to know which menu you are working with (I sometimes do)... create a property myapp.ccurrmenu...
In the cleanup of your menu, put:

 IF TYPE("myapp") = "O"
  *-- myapp exists, so do you have the property assigned???
  IF TYPE("myapp.ccurrmenu")= "U"
   *-- hey we do, pop the name of the menu in
   myapp.ccurmenu = thismenuname
  ENDIF
 ENDIF
<\PRE>

HTH,
