I strongly recommend that no one attempt to write a custom MBDF. Since IM 5 was published, the standard MBDF has been changed significantly; a new message has been added, and another one has been expanded. I expect it to continue to change in the future. It is very unlikely that any MBDF written will be able to deal with future system software, including the one we currently ship. It will have to evolve. Hopefully, in the future, this will change; but for now, please do not write your own menu bar definition functions. _emt
