Stack Height/Menubar

[Rick Harrison]

Hi Jacqueline,

Thanks for pointing out this routine.

I have some modifications I need to
make to it though.  

I have to check to see if any items 
are locked, and unlock them before 
changing the location and then
re-lock them after the change.

The number of controls also includes 
groups which are made up of buttons 
so I will have to modify my calculation 
there.

I also read your informative links to
the other menu tutorials.  

Thanks,

Rick
