Larry, When you load a menu using the DHOpts command, the name it assigns to the menu is (by default) the tail part of the filename you pass. In your case you're loading S:CNC-Menus, so "CNC-Menus" is used as the name for the menu. When you then refer to this menu in the console definition in the SHellWindow variable, you need to use the menu's name. Your example used S:CNC-Menus instead of CNC-Menus, so no menu was attached to the window. If you'd rather give the menu a descriptive name, you can use the NAME keyword with the DHOpts command, as for example DHOpts menu S:My-dogs-menu name Rover -Bill Hawes
