Did that.

I still have no idea as to _why_ I was getting the odd behvior seen here,  
but I did find a fix -- what I ended up doing was going into max.ctl with an 
editor and _MOVING_ the line that mentioned menus.ctl to the top of that 
particular list.  After that things worked as expected...
Odd,  eh?
I've no idea why this should make any difference,  but it did,  and things 
are now working as expected.
Hm,  I wonder if that H)url command has the same restrictions as some of the 
others,  as in messages only to or from the person wanting to use it?  I 
guess we'll see...
