I am currently developing an application that requires a large number
of menus.  The hierarchical menu mechanism is ideal to help me shrink
the number of distinct menus I need by having many 'paths' through
the menus end up at the same final menu (a DAG).  However, I also need
to know what the intermediate selections were along the way in order
to distinguish special cases.  So, for example:

    menu 101               menu 102               menu 103
  +---------+            +---------+            +---------+
  |    a    |-----       |    e    |            |    h    |
  |    b    |     \----->|    f    |----------->|    i    |
  |    c    |            |    g    |            +---------+
  |    d    |            +---------+
  +---------+

...returns from MenuSelect a longword result of integer pairs 103/2.
I would also like to capture the pairs 101/1, 102/2.  Does anyone
know if the standard menu defproc can be twiddled to give me this
information?  

Thanks for any help,
Dave
