It strikes me that this should be easy but I'm a dolt and can't figure it out. Nor can I find anything in the "documentation" (one more voice in the wilderness: the documentation is great for looking up specific Transcript elements but stinks for figuring out how to use the development environment).

I have a project based on three related stacks (at this point, they are arranged as a main stack and two substacks in a single file) which is intended to run exclusively under OS X (which matters only because the menus are intended to only be at the top of the screen and no space has been left in any of the stacks for a menu bar on the card). All three have related but slightly different menus. What I would like to do is, having developed my menus for the main stack, to be able to copy that menubar group from the main stack to the other two stacks where I want to be able to edit them without having to recreate the menus and their scripts from scratch for each substack.

I can copy the main stack's group by temporarily making it a windows style menu (on the card) selecting the group and copying it and then restoring the main stack's menu to the top of the screen. I can then paste this into the substack but, of course, it appears on the card and when I set it to be at the top of the screen, Rev moves my content up. Problem, of course is that I didn't forsee a problem in copying the menu bar so I didn't leave space at the top of the card and I'm losing part of my content. I've tried variations of this some of which at least show the menus but Menu Builder won't edit them.

I thought I might be able to copy and pasting the original menu bar group from the Application Browser but this doesn't seem to be permitted: when I paste the group, regardless of what is selected and displayed in the Browser, a second copy of the group is placed in the original stack.

Am I overlooking something obvious or does anyone have any suggestions?
