The menus are contained in a stack called "revmenus". You can either access this stack in the App Overview, or use a statement like the following in the message box: edit script of button "File" of stack "revmenubar" (substitute whatever menu name you want to look at for "File") >BTW Could someone explain the logic behind this expression for me?

In chunk expressions, a minus sign means "from the end" of the string, so "line -1" of something is the last line. (Other examples: "char -2" is the second-to-last character, "item -4" is the fourth-to-last item, etc.) "select line 1 to -1" means "select all the lines" of the target field. -- Jeanne A. E.
