Hi Karen
I think you are trying to use the feature described in
the last paragraph of the "Showing Menus" topic.

It seems you are doing a few things wrong.
Firstly (even though they are for use as menus)
the sections should start and end with
Format StartSubBar and Format EndSubBar
[subBar not subMenu].

Secondly, the commands to show the sub sections
should not be in the same command list as the sections.
The idea is that you can collect several short menus
into one command list, lets call it the MenuStore list,
arranged into sections with Format StartSubBar and
Format EndSubBar; each "Format StartSubBar" needs a different
name, such as "start1", to act as its label.

then, from another menu, lets call it the DisplayedMenu,
(or from hotkeys or from bar Buttons)
you have commands, each of which shows one section
from the MenuStore list: "Menu Show MenuStore @start1"
where "start1" is the name of one of the items which
has a command "Format StartSubBar"

It does work to display the whole MenuStore list itself
with a Menu Show command [without an @sectionname argument]
but you will see every section as a submenu (as you've discovered)
which I don't think is what you want.

________________________________________________

Here's another way to visualise the structure:

Imagine you have six command lists and only ever show one
of them as a menu independently (from a button or hotkey).
The other five lists are only ever shown from the five
ordinary "Menu Show list2" "Menu Show list3" commands
on the first list, which kind of acts as a host for the
other five menus but doesn't actually contain them.

Now imagine combining the five other menus, but not the
main menu, into one long list called MenuStore, in sections as
described above, using Format StartSubBar ... EndSubBar commands.
Now the Menu Show commands in the main menu need to be changed
to include the @label argument, to only show part of the big new
composite list.
The effect is exactly the same as if you had kept the five
menus each in its own list.
____________________________________________

Of course, those "Menu Show MenuStore @section" commands
don't have to be all on the same DisplayedMenu. Any one of the
sections of MenuStore can be shown individually by any hotkeys,
buttons, scripts, etc, by using the @section argument.

PS
Try the .hlp instead of the .chm
