I wonder if this could not be implemented as an extension then ? Not sure about it, but if an extension can register a callback procedure, then this extension could stay in memory while the plug-in is only loaded when necessary. Of course, your project would then consist of two programs, the extension for handling the dynamic menu stuff and the plug-in itself. Torsten
