Yes, thanks, Mark - now I understand.   So what I had guessed in the 
first paragraph of my initial post:

"A client has a few menus that have nineteen options on them.
The first character on each of these menus is a Ctrl-S.  (I think
dmakemenu starts at Ctrl-A and then goes up by one - up through the
last non-blank option - so on these menus, the nineteenth option
  is the last option, ergo the Ctrl-S as the first char in the file.)"

is in fact not just a hunch, but true. wow. go figure.  ok.
