I was out of town last Saturday when Jeanne DeVoto presented the menu 
tutorial and have just finished reading the chat log and reviewing the 
demos.
  My first impression was "WOW!" That was also my second, third, and 
fourth impression. This was very well done, and extremely helpful. I 
wish I knew this two years ago... Anyone reading this list for a while 
will recognize that Jeanne knows her stuff, I was not surprised to see 
a high level of experience and expertise in the tutorial. More 
impressive was her ability to communicate complexities clearly, simply, 
patiently and constructively; she is a very good teacher! You might 
want to check out the tutorial even if you think you already know all 
about menus.

 Thank you, Jeanne.

PS  One thing not covered was the stack resizing problem which has been 
mentioned occasionally on this list. I fought with this for over two 
years. I now know the problem appears when trying to add menus to 
multi-card stacks. I have been able to fix it by making a copy of the 
problem stack, deleting all but the first card, then creating the 
desired menus and importing the cards.
