Possibly, but you didn't read it carefully. Your TS contains an error
that is very clearly mentioned by the TSref [1]:

"NOTE: Don't set .entryLevel for a HMENU when using this [.special] option!"

Moreover, the TSref also explicitly mentions (in the same paragraph!)
how submenus are created when the .special property is used:

"Also be aware that this selects pages for the first level in the
menu. Submenus by menuPbjects [sic] 2+ will be created as usual."

I don't know if your simultaneous use of .entryLevel and .special is
the source of your problems, but it's definitely the most obvious
error in your code.
