While working on the Menu Editor section of the Help file I discovered that the way I was handling the current file name in the caption bar was all wrong.  It's going to take a little bit of a rewrite.
The fix will appear in the next update of the download.

Discovered some issues with importing menus from .rc files and iwb files.

Some of the restrictions right now to import correctly are:
1).rc file - the menu has to be the 1st block of code  containing BEGIN/END statements in the rc file.
if there are dialogs  and such before the menu the editor will try to treat a dialog as a menu and it will not load the editor correctly

2).rc file - the ID for the menu can not contain the string MENU as in IDD_MENU1

3).iwb file - the menu loaded will be the first menu encountered in the file

Since the current editor wil handle 95% of the situations I think I'll just put necessary warnings and workarounds in help file right now and come back an readdress this as a later update after release.
