Here is the Release Notes/Readme.txt file from the updated Genmenu.prg for

of known issues. This update runs only under version 5.0 of Visual FoxPro.
Do not use with Visual FoxPro 3.0 or previous releases.
To install the Genmenu.prg update:
Replace the existing Genmenu.prg file in the Visual FoxPro root directory
with the updated version.
Known Issues Addressed
- Handles top-level forms better, with respect to setup and cleanup code,
the Append location menu option, and removes naming conflicts
encountered when using RELEASE MENU...EXTENDED with multiple forms.
To explore the available options for integrating menus with top-level
forms in this version of GENMENU, open an .MPR file generated from a
top-level menu and read the header section. The code in this header
section offers better flexibility and ease-of-use for top-level forms.
For even more capability, you can take advantage of 4-9 additional
parameters for your menus, or add setup code to override settings,
variables, and parameters in the header section.
- Updates the #PREPOPUP generator directive functionality. This directive,
for use only with shortcut menus, allows you to control where the
ACTIVATE POPUP command is placed in relation to the generated cleanup
code. By default, ACTIVATE POPUP precedes any cleanup code. To run code
before the ACTIVATE POPUP command, such as code to mark a menu item
before it displays, use #PREPOPUP.
With this version of GENMENU, you can place the #PREPOPUP directive in
the setup code, as before, or, for more flexibility, in the cleanup
code. If #PREPOPUP is used in the setup code, ACTIVATE POPUP will follow
any cleanup code. So, if you defined a procedure or function in the
cleanup code, an error would be generated. This problem can be avoided
if #PREPOPUP is used in the cleanup code, because the ACTIVATE POPUP
command is placed at the exact #PREPOPUP location.
