[wp-hackers] wp_nav_menu?

[Chip Bennett]

By "Control Panel", do you mean Dashboard -> Appearance -> Menus?

If so, then ensure that you have enabled display of custom classes for menu
items:

1) Click the "Screen Options" tab in the upper right-hand corner
2) Enable the check-box for "CSS Classes"
3) Edit each menu item as needed, by adding custom classes to the "CSS
Classes (optional)" text field

(And if this is too simplistic, or not what you're looking for; my
apologies.)
