Allan, I've tried using your approach, which works better than what we did 
before (setting the title to "Do Something      numpad1", so it was never even 
close to being in the key equiv column). But what do you do about having the 
actual keyEquivalent set? If I leave that set at, for instance, command-1, it 
draws to the right of my attributed title. Do you clear the key equiv from menu 
items and use your own key equiv lookup elsewhere?
