about $Menu->AddTab( ..... )

  I find the best way to work out something that's not in the documentation is to find an extension that uses it and work from there. e.g. in the members page extension they use: $Menu->AddTab($Context->GetDefinition('Members'), $Context->GetDefinition('Members'), GetUrl($Configuration, 'extension.php', '', '', '', '', 'PostBackAction=Members'), $Attributes = '', $Position = '50', $ForcePosition = '50'); So you can work out (based on the way $Panel->AddList works - AddListItem($ListName, $Item, $Link, $Suffix = '', $LinkAttributes = '', $Position = '0', $ForcePosition = '0');) that $Menu-AddTab needs the following parameters: $Menu->AddTab($Tabname, $name, $Link, $Attributes, $Position, $ForcePosition); Where: $Tabname is actual name of the tab $Item is the word that appears on it (probably the same as tabname) $Link is where it needs to point to $Attributes I assume lets you put stuff into the anchor tag of the tab $Position tells it where to go in the order $Forceposition tells it whether it HAS to go in that place (incase 2 extensions want to be inthe same position) I'm flying by the seat of my pants here but that should be roughly correct.
