As a temporary solution, I would suggest using
the 994 method to assign some more harmless key,
like the down arrow, to the menu button. If you
don't know how to do this, first press the
correct device key, then enter the following:

SETUP*_**9*9*4**DOWN*MENU**

I'm assuming that you know the standard shorthand
for these things, which is to say that *
represents one blink of the LED, and that
SETUP*_** means "HOLD down the setup key until
you see those two blinks. (**)

This is only meant to be temporary. You could do
better by using a similar method to assign the
actual menu function to the key, but you'd need
to know what number represents that function.
One way is to request the advanced codes for your
device from UEI, but I wouldn't hold my breath if
I were you.

Another way is to figure them out yourself. You
risk sending your device into some sort of
"factory mode" if you do this, but it wasn't a
problem for me, and I figured out the codes for
three devices by trial and error. (One code sent
one into a "factory mode", but sending the same
code again got it back out.)

If I had a digitized sample of your menu button
from your original remote, since I already know
what device code works with your device, I could
probably tell you the advanced code that would
send that signal within 24 hours. Unfortunately,
no one has taken me up on this idea before
because no one else seems to have the technical
skill and inclination to digitize the remote
signal.
