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.
