.yourexistingmenu {

/*above menu copied below*/
.cursorauto .yourexistingmenu {

and then in the php file where the menu (that you want to modify) exists in the php code, wrap that code in divs, like this:
<div class=”cursorauto”>
(code the creates the menu you want to modify)
</div>
this is the general “gist” but without knowing your theme in detail I cant account for any “ifs” or “buts” in how your theme is coded.

Good luck!     @Elena,
