    Joe,

    What type of programming are you using, API or DDT.
    From what your describing, your wanting to add a
    pull-down menu in DDT.

    See the address.bas in the ddt sub-directory under
    samples. Should find what your LOOKING for!!!

    Also, the other examples show how to add menus by
    using RESOURCE files and manually using the API method.
