Gang,
There appears, given the current documentation, to be no way to access
the submenu to be called from a given menu item.  It's easy to find out
that the item HAS a submenu, but appears impossible to find out what
object that submenu actually IS.
Is this correct?  If I want to change a submenu dynamically at runtime,
it appears to be quite a pain to do so (basically, I have to add a submenu
of my own, and keep track of that submenu myself).

Question 2 - It also appears that there is no way to easily REMOVE an item
from a menu once it has been allocated (other than getting the itemlist,
figuring out the row in which the item exists, using the Matrix commands,
removing a row of the itemList matrix, and asking the menu to resize itself).
You'd think that an "addItem" command would have a corresponding "removeItem"
command, wouldn't you?
Again, is this correct?  If not, any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave  (combs@sumex-aim.stanford.edu)
