I have started looking at all the features that EPM has to offer, so I got
the whole EPM package from the June '93 Hobbes CD and prepared my own file
MYCNF.E as described in the EPM Users Manual. However, one of the features
described therein does not seem to work: when setting MENU_LIMIT = 5 
(anything != 0), the action bar should contain a pulldown with the files
that are in the editor ring. So I set up the following MYCNF.E:

const
    MENU_LIMIT = 5
    EXTRA_EX = 1

(I had more in there, but the error is reproducible with just these 3 lines)
and compiled with 'etpm epm'. When I start epm, everything looks normal at
first, but when I try to set 'Ring Enabled' in the Options->Preferences menu,
the message line displays 'Unknown command "ring_toggle"', and there is no
entry 'Add file to ring' in the File pulldown. However, with F8 I can get the
Add File dialog and select a file. But as soon as I have loaded a file into 
the ring (the first file is the default .Untitled, this is the second file),
the message line displays 'Error Showing Menu' and the action bar is 
inaccessible to the mouse -- simply dead. I cannot activate any of the 
pulldowns and only get to the File pulldown via the ALT key.

I have tried all different settings for the related options MY_RING_ENABLED
and RING_OPTIONAL, and also explicitly set INCLUDE_MENU_SUPPORT=1, but to
no avail. 

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong (and how to do it right) or if this
is a bug in EPM (available fixes ?).

I will greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance!
