I was having the same problems with MFMenu -- when I had revision 1.0.  Now
that it's changed to Rev. 1.1... no problems.

                            "Aman-Tut and Julius Caesar -- they both foresaw
                             their untimely deaths, thousands of years ago,
                             in this very oracle.
                             And so did Max Headroom."
