Go to Option inspector,
Choose Global preferences
Under Global options choose Menu Settings
On the Notebooks Menu item click on the edit box
(the thingie with a hammer and wrench icon on it)
This brings up a dialog that allows you to edit the items that
that are currently in your history or to add ones.
For the ones that you want to keep permanently, click "edit"
and uncheck "recycle menu slot automatically)
Thanks much! -- worked for me -- except for two minor points:
1) I don't see any "Menu settings" item in the Global Options window;
better wording (for my case, anyway) would have been
"In the Alphabetical list of Global Options, scroll down
to and select "Notebooks Menu" and then click on . . . "
2) I had to work out that user stylesheets (on Mac, at least) go into
/Users/<me>/Library/Mathematica/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/StyleSheets
Only remaining unresolved (but serious) issue:
style sheet?
Style sheet?
Style Sheet?
stylesheet?
Stylesheet?
StyleSheet?
[Depends on phases of the moon? Only NKS can resolve this?]
