On my top level menu number 5 is "volunteer", from a drop-down on that 5.5 is "current projects" and the projects are 5.5.1, 5.5.2, etc.,
What I need is how, on the "current projects" page, to display the list (as links) those projects (5.5.1, et al)
A little help would be much appreciated.

Ok. After much hair pulling, I found my problem, but in doing so, I found another, which I may or may not be able to fix on my own. When my sub sub pages, 5.5.1 for example, were created I unchecked the "show in menu" button. (cause I didn't want them in my top navigation bar). well, this also prevents them from showing up using the other menu templates. So I have to go turn on the "show in menu" option.
The problem then becomes that they will now show up in my main navigation, so I must now alter *that* menu template to only show the first and second level items.
Wish me luck. I'll post if I figure it out.

Victory is mine!
I had to do a little digging to find the parameters that {menu} accepts (and if there's a better place let me know)
http://trac.cmsmadesimple.org/cgi-bin/t ... ngeset/508
From this page, I gleaned that number_of_levels was the parameter I was looking for. It seems to be working great.
Thanks to me for all my help.

the parameters for MenuManager will be on the under 'help' on the MenuManager row under Extensions >> Modules

You can also use {menu start_element="5.5.1" show_root_siblings="1"} this will show only 5.5.* pages in the menu...
