Using name key form with menus

Hello,

I am trying to refer to menus by their name so I can remove/disable them easily, but this seems not to work.

For example:

display alert ((title of (menu "mainMenu")) as string)

Doesn't work. It gives the error: The specified object is a property, not an element. (-10008)

mainMenu is the name given to the main menu which does respond to menu 0 or main menu

I know that in this example I could just use main menu but when trying to navigate hierarchies of menus I would rather use names than numbers.

The documentation for menus states that standard key forms can be used, but I can't use names for some reason. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this some sort of bug?

I'm using Xcode 3.0

Thank you for any help.

Fergal
