So, after much tearing-out of hair I have finally found the correct way to work with dynamic menus in MDI (I think). In order to do this I have had to make changes to the tabbing framework used in PN2 (thanks to Daniel Bowen for making this possible) and even had to resort to reading an entire chapter of Petzold to work out how the MDI child menus were managed.
The current CVS build of PN2 has an empty MRU on the file menu which is successfully moved around when the child window is switched. Now to just make the MRU work, and then I think a build of version 0.1 can be released onto SourceForge. Watch this space!
