Menu bars on main stack and different menus on substacks

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Well, you wouldn't need more than one pop-up menu on each stack unless  
you wanted to, since a single menu could have a whole bunch of  
different items in it. You might want to group them by type, however,  
and have several if you need them.
