How to make a small change to DVD Navigation

I have made a "new" DVD of the Manchurian Candidate from an .avi source video using NVE v2.1.2.16

I have used the movie trailer as the background on the main menu but it was getting obscured by the 17 chapters (6 per page) I've created in the main movie.

I got round this by adding a second little (1 second) .avi that just says "Play Movie" in big yellow letters on a black background.

That gave me just two buttons on a main menu: one saying "Play Movie" and a second (which I named "Select Scenes") showing the main movie. I shifted these down below the trailer so they no longer obscure it.

Clicking the "Select Scenes" button now takes you to a sub menu with three pages allowing Chapter selection in the main movie and that all works fine.

However, Clicking the "Play Movie" button plays the brief message (Play Movie) but then RETURNS to the main menu!

What I wanted it to do was jump straight to the start of the main movie but NVE doesn't seem to give me the ability to do that!

Can anyone offer a simple explanation of what I would have to edit in order to make the player jump staright to the second title (ie the main movie) immediately after it's been asked to play the first title (ie the little "Play Movie" file)?

Thanks to anyone who reads/replies
