Well, I don't know about BackMenu anymore.  After switching to real
mode (from enhanced, to use Excel) Windows would die:  Everything in
my load= line would be loaded *except backmenu* and I would get an
hourglass pointer permanently.  Note this only happened in real
mode, backmenu works in 386 mode fine (except for the previous
problem).

Well, I tried running backmenu directly, and it would freeze up again,
so I've killed backmenu completely and am waiting to get this new
version to see what's it does.
