ShowMenu will redisplay any menus you've added to HyperCard using the NewMenu* XFCN.  HyperCard doesn't know you've added menus, and if you change userLevels or use the paint tools HyperCard will erase your menus accidentally.  It doesn't mean it, it just doesn't know any better.  An example of using ShowMenu would be:

on idle
  global myMenu
  ShowMenu myMenu 
  pass idle
end idle

Again, the menu number should be the same number that was returned by NewMenu*.

For a more efficent method of use, see the sample script provided with NewMenu*.
