To edit the menulist, you are correct: It does not have to be deleted. To IMPORT a new version of the menulist, however, you must first delete the existing menulist. While you can import the new version of a checkbox or button over an existing one, you cannot import a new version of a menulist over an old one. Quite some time ago, this was confirmed to me in an E-mail from Manuel Reimer, the developer of PrefBar. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>. Donald Trump claims everyone likes him. Does that include his ex-wives? How about the students who discovered that their education at Trump University was worthless? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
