Joe,

Alain,

I found the problem. (great night, eh?)

When my app starts up, it checks the prefs and sorts the checkmarks for the
items in Menu 4 according to the selected colors below the submenu. Problem
is, I was using DEF CheckOneItem, and that wiped out the submenu, at least
in the popup sense.


So, I don't know if that is a bug with Def CheckOneItem in a menu with a
submenu, or if this is a predictable natural result of combining
incompatible processes.

Anyway, that is the problem. Took that DEF CHECKONEITEM thing out of there
as a test, and there was that submenu all rationed as one would expect.

Might be a good note for the FB^3 Reference manual.
