Windows 2000 not responding to menu insert commands

[katir at hindu.org]

For those who have tried them, the Dancing with Siva Youth Course presentation stacks have been updated. I reduced the stack size to 750 X 550 so if you had a 800 X 600 pixel display and could not see the bottom navigation buttons they should apprea now:

But meanwhile found an old Dell hidden in a corner here and am now able to test easily the Windows version myself. This Dell exhibits some "crazy" behavior.. (from an Apple user point of view). e.g. when i set the display setting to 800 X 600, instead of utilizing the full screen it simply crops the display down to a tiny little box... I could be missing something... Anyway I have a toggle choice in a pulldown menu that works just great on a Mac OSX machine, but the following does not work quite right on the Windows version.

case "Show Desktop"
    set the backdrop to none
    show menubar
    show taskbar
    put "off" into gBackDropStatus
    put "Hide Desktop" into line 2 of me
    break
  case "Hide Desktop"
    set the backdrop to 0,0,75
    put empty into gBackDropStatus
    put "Show Desktop" into line 2 of me
    hide menubar
    hide taskbar
    break

The behavior I am getting is that the system is indeed hiding and showing both the desktop and the taskbar, but the second case "Hide Desk" top" when choosen, does not insert the "Show Desktop" into line 2 as it does on the Mac... on windows, the menu item remains stuck at "Hide Desktop" desktop, which is totally weird, because it *is* toggling... which means that case "Show Desktop" is returning true... but the menu item doesn't show it... I turn to the mac on the same table and try it there and it works fine. both compiled from the same run time stack? 

Any thoughts?
