Your quite correct Gordon, I phrased my message rather clumsily. The point I was trying to make was that the extra menu had to be "activated" before the items contained therein could be accessed. This differes, wrongly in my view but there it is, from generic menus when voiceover movements (for example vo-down) will bring you directly into the menu rather than having to use vo-space first.
