No problem,

FYI: I did download this from the web site as a general update - not as a
beta

Kevin,
This change was not mentioned in UPD.TXT, as the MENU-FILE
Type was introduced in 4.2.007 (which is still in beta).
I sometimes fail to notify beta testers of all changes made
withIN the beta. Sorry about that.
