Cheers Fab
Gotta love gambas, It only took a moment and i now have Menu.Handler
property :)

But i think i may have over-thought it. the program hasn't been constructed
to the point of restoring the menus yet as I have mostly been working on
saving the info.
I suspect I may not even need the handler name :-\
i sure have needed the Picture.Path property , that's actually really
useful :)
