Bruce,

I'm not sure what exactly you need to know, but I'll try to clarify a
few thing for you at best that I can.

The full menu utilizes JSCookmenu class, where the menu items are
hardcoded in the mod_fullmenu.php, from around line: 60 - 320+

Here's what I don't quite understand what you mean by "where this
happens". Did you mean how the mod_fullmenu.php is eval'd?

The way Mambo works is by 'including' the scripts into different
sections by using the mosLoadAdminModule('position_name') function call.
The funcion just regurgitates the PHP code so that it is interpreted.

I have quite a few years of experience in dealing with Mambo, but I'm
definitely no expert. Hope that helps anyway.
