Help: Hypertext command "popup menu"

[Matt Sullivan]

So they are separate para's, not just separate lines?

I'd be happy to take a peek if you can send an example my way.

Each submenu item (ex. Apple) is on a separate 
line on a reference page (whose workflow name is used by the popup command).

I make sure the proper paragraph format is applied.

I use the same approach fo the second submenu as for the first.

Have you tried and gotten two submenus to work (their commands that is)?

Thanks.
