[ANN] How-To stack #008 How to build a menu on the fly revised

[MisterX]

Eric,

do you have any tips to prevent menus from stacks behind (or palettes)
intercepting the menu's messages? 

stack A has a menu - with save/s in it.
Open stack b - no menu 

if i try to save stack b, stack a intervenes and launches its save
handler...

Other than writing a plugin to fix this (HotKeyN2O again), is there any
"normal" way to prevent this?

cheers
Xavier
