When you bring up the tool to map the object, there's an option to use CTRL-SHIFT-A to allow map what's under the cursor.
Robert,
Once I figured out how to access the 'context' menu in the Object Spy application and select 'Map Object', the Map Object dialog initially told me I had to map an unmapped parent object. The problem is that the parent object is already mapped and when I click 'Yes' on the dialog to map it I get an error telling me the object I want to map is not visible. While this is certainly true for the menu display list I am trying to map it is not true of the parent object. When I click the 'OK' button on the error dialog the whole process exits and I am stuck back at the beginning again.

What you described is object browser... not object spy....

No, I am pretty sure I am referring to the Object Spy. I invoke it from the following toolbar:
I click on the second button from the left. And when I hover my mouse cursor over it the tooltip says 'Display Object Spy'.
OK.... there's a tool option up there as well for mapping a component. Use that. When you do so, there's a similar option for SHIFT-CTRL-A. You can use that to capture components that don't stay "static" on screen for standard mapping.
