[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Bug in "Menus for HC", Nine to five software

I have some problems with the XCMD/XFCN -package for adding menus to HC.
I think it's a bug, but of course it could be an extraordinary feature..

I'm talking about the one in Developerstack 1.2 r (available by ftp from
ssyx.ucsc.edu). 

With the package there is a way to disable some menu items e.g.: 
  enable menu1,3,false
disables third item of menu menu1.

To disable all items at once we disable item 0:
   enable menu1,0,false
Now, all menuitems in menu1 is grayed but not the _title_ of the menu.

Here comes the bug:

If I enables the same menu (after it has ben disabled) through
   enable menu1,0,true
I get a menu with an disabled (grayed) title but with all items enabled!!!


What's happening? The program comes from "Nine to Five software", does anybody
have their faxnumber or maybe email-adress?

Does anybody know anything of a more recent version or an (maybe
commercial) alternative to this one?




     I WILL POST A SUMMARY TO THE NET!
