First, as I have mentioned, it is all configurable, and at the moment turned off by default. So, after installing menu-2.0.0-2, you'll still be able to do what you described above. Second, due to the way the menu tree is setup, you _don't_ have to *guess* where to find the entry: All you do is look at $section + $hints. Then, you go to the menu tree, and keep on selecting the submenus that is mentioned in eighter $section or $hints, untill you found the menu entry. Wheter or not all of this is `a good thing' for everyone (including the beginners) I don't know. But I have recieved quite a number of complaints about the enourmous number of entries in some sections (usually at places where _my_ tree is underpopulated), and I do want to be able to give a responce to those people.' And, having looked at several trees generated by this version of menu, I myself am quite pleased with the result. But that maybe just because I've also seen the trees generated by the first try-versions, that were less gratious (i.e. totally wrong, had entries missing, and other stuff). Groetjes, joostje
