Nope. That's xtrn_sec. For xtrnmenu, xtrnmenu_(menuid).msg is correct and works. The screens display. So "main" menu has 15 items.   If there is NO xtrnmenu_main.msg then 2 digit hotkeys work.  Once xtrnmenu_main.msg is created it displays properly but you no longer can enter 2 digit hotkeys, it will begin launch on the first digit.
