I understand the madness with menus. I also found a very simple 
solution.
When you can't edit the menu choose the menubar group in the inspector. 
Then
uncheck "Behave like a background" This will allow you to edit the 
menubar. Be
sure when you're finished with your editing that you recheck "Behave 
like a
background"

WOW I can finally help someone in this group. That's a first for this 
newbie!
