As near as I can tell, when you remove a disk from the drive (unmount it),
AmigaDOS throws out the buffer. So, if I do a list, and the next time I do
a list and it loads it from ram, if I put in a different disk and try to 
list it, the Amiga demands the Workbench disk. I think they should at least
keep the buffer full until the next disk access.

I have a menu element with (A)N assigned to it, and it works fine, and I
can't imagine what your problem may be.
