   I have a program that involves several numbered text windows.  At any time,
   the user can create a new window or close an old one.

   I'd like to have a 'Windows' menu from which the user can select any one
   of the currently-open windows.  I have no trouble adding an item to the
   menu for each window I create, but there are no routines for removing
   items from the menu whenever I close a window!

Is there some problem with calling the trap _DelMenuItem whenever a
window is closed?
