Customize User Interface (CUI) Update

This update corrects two problems that have been reported with regards to editing CUI files.

• Duplicate IDs in a CUI file cause an error message indicating an invalid file.
• Menu files that contain a screen menu are incorrectly converted, resulting in extra spaces at the top.

Description of Problems

1. Editing a CUI file could introduce duplicate entries (IDs) that may cause the file to become corrupt. Loading the corrupt CUI file results in an error message stating that the file is invalid and you can no longer customize the file.
2. Upon converting a menu file that contains a screen menu, erroneous blank lines are added at the top of the screen menu section. This can affect the display of commands that appear toward the bottom of the screen menu.
