There may be a small problem...I assume you selected Open, then pulled
down EntryType to cascade, and then clicked Update, which changes the
type of Open to <cascade>. Like you, when I do this, and then
double-click on Open, nothing happens. But the (current) work-around
for me is this:
Pull down Entry type to cascade;
Click Add -- this adds a new Open (or Close or whatever) of type <cascade>
at the end;
If you double click on this, it changes to the appropriate list box for
setting up the cascade you need;
Of course, one may need to delete the original Open, etc.
