You also need to recompile EXTRA.  The menus are built from code in EXTRA.EX
(via STDMENU.E), while most of the commands that the menus execute are
included in EPM.EX (much of it from STDCTRL.E).  Since you didn't have
RING_OPTIONAL = 1 in your MYCNF.E, EPM.EX didn't include the ring_toggle
command; since you didn't recompile Extra, the menu still included an
entry that attempts to use that command.

You probably should take a look at EPMGCNF.SMP, which is the MYCNF.E used
to build the externally-distributed *.ex files, and at OS2TOOLS.CFG, which
is the MYCNF.E used to build the *.ex files distributed within IBM.  You
might want to take one of these as a base, and then add or subtract things.

Whatever MYCNF.E you wind up with, it would be a good idea to run MAKEMACS.CMD
to rebuild *all* the .ex files the first time.  That ensures everything's in
synch.  After that, if you make a change, you can recompile only the affected
ex file.

(E.g., the distributed .ex files were compiled with WANT_DBCS = 1 in the
MYCNF.E; if you recompile EPM & EXTRA without this, you'll get an error
from DRAW if you didn't recompile that as well, because the definition
of the Left key calls a DBCS routine if DRAW.EX was compiled with
WANT_DBCS = 1.)
