Hmmm . . . is there any possibility that you're pulling a different
menu? What happens if you grab the menu command and run it from a
command prompt? Anything interesting on stdout or stderr?  Just a

By the way, may I trouble you to avoid top posting.  It does make it
easier to follow the thread if additions are either at the bottom or in
the original.  Thanks - John
