Hello one and all,

  I'd like to add to the growing vote for those wanting a TV list!  There's
too much involved with TV for BORLAND to have put it in the TV Guide.

Here's my question ( and I hope someone has figured this out! ):

I need to include some Menu boxes in my pull down menus ( like the IDE uses
for Preferences ).  While I've no trouble constructing regular menus, the
AParentMenu field required for TMenuBox has me puzzled!  What do I use for
that field?  My oblvious choice is the menu item that will call the box menu,
but, how do I code this?  I thought a tempMenuPtr to build the box with it's
parents definition, but how do I link it into the main menu bar?

I believe this is not a hard task, but I can't seem to decide where to even
start playing.  If anyone can help out on this problem, PLEASE respond.  Best
to post, but private mail accepted ;-).  I'll follow up if I get answers in
private.

tom
