Jimmy,
I don't have any items placed in my office's .cui file (yet). And I have
Acad.cui and Express.cui menuloaded into the office's .cui file. Please note
that *while I am editing* the office's .cui file (in my Edit CUI profile),
shortcut menus don't work.
However, as soon as I switch over to the normal office profile, where the
office's .cui is the enterprise .cui, the shortcut menu work fine, even
though they are _not_ placed in either the custom.cui or office's .cui
structure.

Does anyone else get problem with "POP0 - Object Snap Cursor Menu" in a
setup like this?
If I press CTRL + right button on the mouse nothing happens.
-Custom.cui (Main)
-Office.cui (Enterprise)
--Acad
----POP0
--Express

Most of us used to use Acad.mns as the root of our menu structure, and then
MenuLoad (partial) the rest of our menus. So this was the structure:
-Acad.mns
--Express.mns
--Custom.mns
--Office.mns
However, the CUI has flipped our tidy lives. And the tendency is to try to
shoehorn the CUI into how we've always done things. I propose an
alternative, taking advantage of the Enterprise CUI in the process.
It is no longer necessary to make Acad.cui the root of structure. Think
about it; we did that before so that we could always insure that at least
Acad's menu structure was there. But CUI does some undesired things if you
continue this approach. More will be said on that later. Instead, I
recommend making Custom.cui the main .cui file, and your Office.cui the
Enterprise .cui file.
-Custom.cui (Main)
-Office.cui (Enterprise)
--Acad
--Express
Why?

I hope that this post helps you in your efforts with the CUI.
