The menu items could be of type PAD, POPUP or BAR. Each of them has corresponded SET SKIP OF command. So, before you can use SET SKIP OF command, you've to know the type of 'start' item and make sure that it has a name you can reference it by. The name of the item can be entered/edited in the Menu Designer in the column between 'Result' and 'Options'.
