Try this...
1. In the admin backend, Go to manage
Modules and select New 2. Select mod_menu and next 3.
Type a new module Title, position, what access group, and
IMPORTANTLY, what item in the Main Menu for the New menu to show
on. 4. Now, Very Important, under
Module Parameters give a Name to the Menu this module instance
will control....REMEMBER the name...you will
need it at the next stage. 5. Save the new module instance
and then publish it, slecting where you want it to appear and its
order etc....
Now still in the backend, got to Menu,
Add/Edit Menus...
6. Select New, type in the name that
you were told to REMEMBER when creating the new module
instance. 7. Create.... 8. Select the Menu and then
select the new menu you have craeted.... 9. Now add menu
items as you would for any menu....
The menu name that
appears on the frontpage will be the Module Title you created in
step 3 above....

Yes...I see what you want to do....
The issue is that
you can have the new menu become activated when an item is
selected in the main menu...no problems so far..
BUT
When you select an item in the NEW menu the
focus is lost from the Main menu item that was the "Show
Menu" criteria...
Hmmm, I can't see a way under
the current rules to do what you want...
Others may
have a better idea....

1. create a custom menu
2. have that menu module
display when an item in the main menu is selected...all easy so
far..done, tested and explained above
3. create items
in the new menu that select new content that has been created
4. now the hard bit, when an item is selected in the
custom menu, the custom menu to remain visible, it currently
disappears as the foucus has gone from the Main menu iotem that
performs the "Show" authority.
The example didn't help; however, if there is a consistency bug
we will fix it.
Somebody should file a formal bug
report saying: I do this and this (starting from a fresh Drake
CMS installation), and I get this result, but this other result
was expected.
Select
TestContent in the Main Menu....the new menu appears in the right
position...
Select each of the new Menu Items...
Note the outcome for each...the issue is when
"MenuShow2" is selected

I have understood what you mean, and it is possible to achieve
the desired result, you just have to master the content
section/category/item concepts.
The default 'News'
menu item links to the News content section (and lists its
categories). If you do not want to have the content items fall
under the 'News' link (which IS the 'News'
section renderer), just create a new content section and put the
content items under it.
As far as you will not have
another renderer for the full section or category, the items'
selection will be rendered for the single content items.
The menu system will probably be improved in future versions.
