Hi Ian, your guess concerning a popup menu is right. I examined Greg's Menu_Bar examples, but couldn't find anything that suits my needs - he describes how to access Fl_Menu_Items in a menu, but not how to dynamically add them. I'm sharing your view, that I'm using add() in the wrong way - but which would be the right one?
