OK, now on to the next step. Menus working fine, all scripted. Now I want to add a menu item to the File menu in certain circumstances. I coded a mouseDown handler in the button named "File" in my menu group to do this. It gets the text of the menu, adds the text for the new menu item to the end and puts it back into the menu's text property. New text never appears. Set a breakpoint at the start of the handler so I can check my logic, even inserted a breakpoint command. Never breaks. The menuPick is right there in the same script and it works fine so why doesn't mouseDown get handled?
