Ok, when I nest the submenus, it works as expected. But the problem then 
is that a "menu title" does not have ^Hotkey support like "menu label" 
does. And I can also not indent the "menu title" entries in my main menu.

That is exactly why I decided to not nest the submenus (and use the top 
level) because that way I can use "menu label" to jump to other menus, 
indent them (menu indent), use hotkeys.

So I guess if I would nest them and have Escape return to the parent menu, 
I would need to have "menu indent" work for menus (not just labels) as 
well as have hotkey support in menu titles to get the same results.

Am I correct that both were designed to not work like I just described ?

Thanks in advance,
