Custom menu problems

Currently our custom company menu for Acad LT2000 is combined with the standard LT menu. I am working on separating them, to leave the standard acad menu, with ours as a partial menu. The problem I am running in to, is that a couple of our pulldowns use image lists, and slide library files. On the current menu, it works, on the one where I've tried to separate the 2, it won't. The callouts for both menus are:

[&Symbols]$I=Symbols $I=*;

the slide library is named: symbols.slb

and the image callout further into the menu is:

***IMAGE
**SYMBOLS
[--- SELECT SYMBOL ---]
[SYMBOLS(HR-BUB)]^C^C-INSERT SYMBOL/HR-BUB
[SYMBOLS(VT-BUB)]^C^C-INSERT SYMBOL/VT-BUB
etc. etc.

The problem is, one menu works, the other brings up gibberish in the image box, when that menu is loaded. The only difference that I can see is that one is listed under POP13, the other in the partial is listed under POP2, but I was told that shouldn't be a problem. And ideas?

i have done a lot of this in the last 6 months i also have run into simmmilar problems and all i can tell you is this to aleviate the problem i did this
1st time when i discovered the problem i tryed just copy n paste to the new MNU but this apparently would not work either not all the info was being copied over or something?? i dont know exactly but what i ended up doing finally was making a copy of my MNS rename it to "My Custom".mnu then going in with notepad and just removing what i knew i did not need for some reason this is the only way i could ever get it to work with pulldowns now toolbars thats another story they seem not to be so dependent on the file and one is able to copy n paste from file to file or if you just get into acad and use the create toolbar procedure and then move the buttons to new toolbars in the custom menu group i have never had any problems and the code gets written up for you just remember after you make changes i normally go into the MNS & MNU and copy n past From one to the other

Hope this helps if everyone helps everybody the world will be a better place
