So, if the difference is the existence or not of the menu being called, it means that a user-created menu may contain a label calling another (existing) pre-defined menu or another (existing) user-created menu. Just to be clear.

Your reasoning sounds correct IMO.

Re: WP43 Bug Reports and Maintenance
Well, if that is the case, then this should work:
f ASN f USER "ABCD" to create custom menu ABCD, this works fine, the menu is listed in CAT.MENUS
f ASN "ABCD" ENTER F1 (in MyMenu) works fine as well, "ABCD" is shown as a menu (inverted)
F1 to open menu "ABCD"
f ASN "TRI" ENTER F2 (or any other free soft button in menu "ABCD") does _not_ work fine, the error message "This item cannot be assigned here" appears
So this seems not consistent with the confirmation that an existing MENU can be assigned to a soft button in a custom menu, if I read everything correctly.

This is in wp43-owners-manual-0.23.11.pdfWalter wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 4:13 pmUser-created menus must not contain submenus (cf. OM, p.304). May well be this was (mis)interpreted as a a general interdiction of menus in such a menu but it wasn't meant that way. AFAICS, however, no assignment of a menu to a menu key is described anywhere in OM Section 6, nor is a menu explicitly mentioned as an assignable item.* So, since not explicitly forbidden, it should be allowed. I'll try to make it clear in OMS 6 that this is a legal assignment.
*Correction: OM, pp. 303f, state that menus can be assigned. Nevertheless...
P.S.: I can't find a meaningful link to the footnote 253 you mentioned. Please note there are several OM editions carrying number 0.23; they can be told apart by the last date stated in the Release Notes.

Re: WP43 Bug Reports and Maintenance
Please note the latest release in 0.23.12 and that footnote changed its number.

Re: WP43 Bug Reports and Maintenance
How do you allocate space for a user menu you don't know the size of?

Re: WP43 Bug Reports and Maintenance
Can a user menu have pages?
I believe in free will. Just can't help it.
Re: WP43 Bug Reports and Maintenance
Yes in principle but just one (cf. OM, p. 304 of 350).
