This SHOULD be expected.  LAST MENU never retrieves the menus that
consist of only submenus, viz. MTH (menu 3), PRG (menu 10), LIBRARY
(menu 24), and UNITS (menu 42).  This is described in the manual, btw.

They went to special effort to add this feature.  Good thing, too.  It
lets you flipflop between, say, the UNITS TEMP menu and the EQ UTILS
(library 268) menu with one keystroke (LAST MENU).  Couldn't otherwise,
except by using the MENU command, which would detour the user-
friendliness of the LAST MENU key.
