You are right, it would be a simple matter of changing the paint order, so the menu object is under to notations object. But you really do not want to be able to call the menu at all when the notations object is up. Therefore, I probably should have used 'rightClick' to initiate the menu object (that would avoid the calling of the menu object when the notations object is up). Unfortunately, the laptop I created it on crashed, and I do not have the files to correct anything. There are a few other gliches that I have come across, also.
