Hi all,

I'm having a little trouble coding something, and need some
help.

Here's the situation:  I'm trying to add menu cells to a submenu
(of a submenu) on the fly.  From reading the Spec Sheets I can't
figure out how to do it.  The kind of thing I'm trying to do
is like the "Activate" menu in so many apps that are out there.

e.g.

------------
| Info     |
------------
| File    >|
------------  -----------------
| Submenu >|  | Add          a|
------------  -----------------
| Hide    h|  | Remove       r|
------------  -----------------
| Quit    q|  | Sub-Sub menu >|
------------  -----------------

and every time the user choses the "Add" cell, I do a little
processing and add another cell to "Sub-Sub menu" (and "Remove"
should be able to remove one such cell).

Could some kind soul please send me some example code which does
this? (Note, I can't get NeXT-mail at the address below).

Thanx,
