Well, I finally called VESOFT and they pointed out my problem.

In a menu file the first line must be "*START", without the quotes.  I
had comment lines in the beginning, using a pound sign.

Once I moved the *START lines to the beginning of the file my problem
went away.

I am using $Menu-File, specifying user groups for different menus:
$MENU-FILE MAIN.MENU.XXX @.XXX-!XXX1
$MENU-FILE MAIN.MENU.YYY @.YYY-MGR.YYY-BATCH.YYY

XXX1 is a list of users specified earlier in the securcon file....

I am trying to use the Vesoft Security Menus and I've run into bump in
the road.
When I issue:  RUN MAIN.PUB.VESOFT, ADD  I eventually come to the
prompt,  "Enter the menu file name:"  I enter the name of a valid menu
file and I get the following error message,  "Error:  Not a valid menu
file."

If I add the statement $Menu-File  filename, in the securcon file
everything works fine. 

What am I doing wrong by using the menu file name in the logon profile?
I will have several different menus and don't want to control them using
the securcon file.  Anyone have and idea of what I'm missing, is there
another parameter I need to set up?

I have setup the $VEPROFILE statement in the securcon file and have it
restricted to the user set I'm testing.

As always, thanks for your time and help in advance,
