[Rd] winMenuAdd

[Prof Brian Ripley]

I can see no change in the relevant code since 2.2.0 and the release 
version of 2.2.0 does this for me.

It seems to be a long-standard error in rui.c that only 10 menus are 
allocated but 16 are tested for.

Please don't use such a misleading description!  You appear to mean
something like

 	Version 2.2.0 Patched (2005-11-21 r36418)
