Thanks Sergey. I wish the documentation mentioned that fact.

>>The VFP 8.0 documentation states:

>>You can create multi-column menus by specifying a backslash and a vertical bar (\|) at the beginning of cMenuItemText. The menu item starts a new column, and subsequent menu items are placed in the same column until another menu item beginning with \| is encountered. For example, including the following command in a menu definition creates a new column in the menu:
>>
>>DEFINE BAR 4 OF popMyPopup PROMPT '\|Start a new column'
>>

>>I tried to use this feature with DEFINE POPUP but the popup menu did not have multiple columns. Does anyone know if this works and how it is to be used?
