Is this just so that you can change the menus on the fly? I haven't 
tested either one, but I can think of a couple of things to try.

First you could try just re-naming the button rather than hiding it, and 
resetting its contents to what the new menuitems should be. You'd need 
case statements in the main switch structure to cover all the menu items 
that are currently in two buttons now.

The other way would be to build a second menu group, place it, and hide 
it. When you want to change menus, hide the whole first group and show 
the second group -- that should make it appear to change on Windows 
machines too. For the Mac users, set the defaultmenubar to whichever 
group is supposed to be in use.

As I said, I haven't tried either one of these. The first way sounds 
easier to maintain.
