Odd, but that explains it. You cannot have the last menu be a custom menu. I guess this was true in HC as well. If you created a new menu, you did not have control over where it was placed except within the confines of the built-in menuSpace open to you. And the "help" menu was always last. I just rashly assumed that with the additional control in LC, I could shuffle at will. Thanks.

No problem. LC v4.3. > It's a feature: in HIG-compliant apps the last menu is "Help", and the last menu item is "About" with second-to-last being a divider. The menu will render unaltered on Linux and Windows, but since Mac is different it moves the last item to the application menu and removes the divider that had been above it. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
