Re: Using name key form with menus

I think I've found the answer for
display alert ((title of (menu item 1 of menu "appMenu" of main menu)) as string)

I was calling the NSMenuItem appMenu instead of the NSMenu class. I was confused as to which to name because it was the NSMenuItem that had the index that worked (menu 1) whereas the NSMenu class always has an index of 0. So it looks like menus within menus are also menu items, and it's the index of NSMenuItem that works, and the name of the NSMenu. Bit confusing.

What threw me even more is that giving the main menu a name still doesn't work, but giving other menus names does, so it stopped most of my test and examples from working. bleh. But I guess I can always use main menu for that.

Thank you for your help.
