Grant,
    I went into the verbosity manager and it was set on highlighted, so for
trial I set it on all, right?  It then started saying the menu choices, but
as you most likely know it now says way to much info, HAHA!  So there must
be some other setting to change things to only the highlighted choices?

            Thanks so much, Patrick
