In this case, i had a syntax file and a ftdetect file. (For multimarkdown.) I put the syntax and ftdetect files in the correct location. the file type is found, but the syntax menu does not update.

If your new syntax scripts don't appear, try adding zero-length files of the same names (not overwriting existing scripts, of course) in ~/.vim/ftplugin/ (for Unix-like) or in ~/vimfiles/ftplugin/ (for Windows). You may have to restart Vim (I'm not sure) to have the new filetypes inserted in the Syntax menu. If *that* doesn't work, then don't modify $VIMRUNTIME/synmenu.vim (in general, NEVER modify ANYTHING in the $VIMRUNTIME directory tree, because any Vim update may silently remove your changes); rather, add additional synmenu.vim files in ~/.vim/ (for Unix-like) or in ~/vimfiles (for Windows). IIUC they will be sourced in addition to the default scripts, because Vim installs them by doing ":runtime! synmenu.vim" (see ":help :runtime").
