What the author (that's me) meant to say is "there is no documented API
that supports adding or removing menus, menu items...."
You might be able to hack the resources yourself, but that's not exactly
coding for compatibility.
What you can do quite legally is create multiple menu bar resources and then
switch between them as desired using FrmSetMenu()

well.. you should be able to edit the menu resource object directly
and remove one of the elements from the array that is there and then
explicitly tell the OS to update the menu?
unless of course the palmos always reads the menu definition from the
prc file :( can someone verify this?
cheers.
