Still sketchy about the last time you actually created a menu from scratch

Maybe. It's a tough call with a toolkit as flexible as LiveCode,

What problems do you see? Just curious, since I've been using it without
any trouble for some time.

Stack menus are far more primitive than that, going back to the very
early days of MetaCard in which making a menu meant laying out buttons
There is a checkbox in the menu builder called Set as Stack Menu bar. I’m
wondering if that is what everyone means by a stack menu? If so, it seems that
in order for your application to look and feel like a *real* app, you will need
to employ this, at least for some apps. I have never heard of a
Hi Bob
I was just trying to find out what a stack menu IS. I don’t know whether you
can build one with the menu builder or not, but what I was looking for was an
explanation as to the what, the why and the how. I suppose the how might have
included menu builder.
When I start a new project I do
Why aren’t we using the menu builder again?

Thanks Richard, I rather suspected what you say might be true. I do however
think the documentation of this feature is a bit of disgrace - really I could
have dismissed the whole idea after one reading if the description was more
