Add to existing menus? V5

Is is possible to add links to alreadying existing menus and then redraw them? For example here's my initial menu...

with(MyMenu=new menuname("Main Menu")){
style=menuStyle0;
menuwidth=141;
itemwidth=141;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="vertical";
position="relative";

aI("text=  Links;showmenu=Links;");
aI("type=header;separatorsize=1;separatorpadding=5"); // separator
}

After doing this is there any way to add another aI() to the menu? Like this...

with(menuname["Main Menu"]){
aI("text=Added Later;url=http://www.bannerhealth.com/;");
}

I'm rebuilding the menu into a .net component for our intranet and I need to be able to write in different parts of a menu at different times in the code.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yah! I figured it out. Here's how you do it...

----------------------------------------------------------------
var MyMenu=new menuname("Main Menu");

with(MyMenu){
style=menuStyle0;
menuwidth=141;
itemwidth=141;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="vertical";
position="relative";

aI("text= Links;showmenu=Links;");
aI("type=header;separatorsize=1;separatorpadding=5"); // separator
}
----------------------------------------------------------------

Then somewhere later in my code...

----------------------------------------------------------------
with(MyMenu){
aI("text=Added Later;url=http://www.milonic.com/;");
}
----------------------------------------------------------------

You have to add to the menu before doing drawMenus().
Later all.

Thanks, Mark for posting the solution when you figured it out. It really helps those of us who are not real knowledgeable...much better than the 'nevermind, I figured it out' one.
