Syslinux - Mar 2006 - Add_Item Help

I was using the simple menu with this configuration:

DEFAULT MyMenu
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 10
ONTIMEOUT LocalBoot
ALLOWOPTIONS 0
IMPLICIT 0
NOESCAPE 1

MENU MAST PASSWD <password_omitted>

MENU TITLE Bootable Options:

LABEL MyMenu
        MENU HIDE
        KERNEL pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32

label Remote Instalation Server
    kernel memdisk/memdisk
    append initrd=RisMenus/RisDisk.IMg

Now I'm trying to implement the complex menu system, which I can't. I
figure
out how it works, but I don't now where I'm wrong. I think that the
problem
is in this sentence, in the Kernel parameter:

 add_item("<I>magenes","Option para la descarga de
Imagenes",OPT_RUN,"*memdisk/memdisk
initrd=RisMenus/RisDisk.IMg*",0);

I can load the GUI and change/add items, but when I try to load an Image
just like in the simple menu, I can't figure it out. How can I do to load
this floppy Image?

Sorry, for my bad English!

Assuming you have got the arguments for add_item in the correct order 
and the correct number, you should try replacing "*memdisk/memdisk 
....IMg*" with "memdisk/memdisk....IMg", i.e. remove the * in
your
command to run. If you think the problem is somewhere else, let me know 
and we can see what the problem is.

BTW, did you write the C code yourself or use the enclosed python script 
(see latest syslinux pre-release) to generate the C code from a .MENU file?
