Thank you Kubrat,

I turned the warnings on and got the messages....

Cannot 'pack' Tk::Menu::Cascade=ARRAY(0x3150fec) - done automatically 
+at mysql_split.pl line 169
[download]

This implies that I can't justify the cascades using the pack routine. It also possibly also implies that the justification of cascades can't be manipulated.

If the latter implication is true, then I guess I will not be able to manipulate the justification of a cascade. Tears are welling up in my eyes. At least I shall be able to manipulate these with my Hadkercheif. ;¬).

If my reading between the lines is wrong and the justification can be achieved, possibly by other means; then I shall be very glad to receive some words of wisdom on how...

Thanks again
