Hypertext commands - popup menu - not working

[Stephen O'Brien]

Hi,

I want to use hypertext commands in the header of 
a special FM document.  They will allow me to 
open books, software, URLs without clicking 
elsewhere. I would like to organize these commands using submenus.

Now my problem. I can have only 1 submenu and it 
must be at the top of the menu. Under it there 
can be commands directly, but if there is a 
submenu with commands they appear and open but on 
click do nothing (the commands work individually 
if they are clicked directly on the reference page).

Here is the precise situation:

On my Master page I have the word Language with 
the hypertext command Popup menu to popup flow Language (on Reference page).

Emacs!

The flow Language had three Popup commands 
(submenus) to distinct flows - Dictionary, Grammar, and Translation.

Each of these flows have commands to open documents or go to URLs.

The 3 submenus all display - see image.

The commands in the Dictionaries flow display and all work.

For the other 2 flows the commands they contain 
are displayed but when I click on any one of them they do not work.

I tried using a graphic to define the active area 
instead of the word Language, to no avail.

I have searched FrameMaker user forum and knowledgebase without success.

Any ideas Framers? Does anyone out there have 
several submenus and their commands all work?

Thanks for your ideas!
