Thanks Sean. And pull downs have slightly different functionality
too, which is not what I wanted (just the down arrow looked neater in
the context of what I am using). (Wish Apple would also have this
information in their reference docs.)

I have a popup menu item with 9 items. If I set the pullsDown

Does something else need to be set for a pull down menu? This is
certainly breaking the principle of least surprise! Both
NSPopUpButton and NSPopUpButtonCell exhibit this behaviour.
Hey Ian,
It seems like the menu item indexing of pull-down style lists could
be the cause of your trouble:
"Note that in a pull-down list, the first item is stored at index
1, not index 0 as is the case with pop-up lists or ordinary menus.
This is done so that the pull-down list’s title can be stored at
index 0 if necessary. Even when the title is stored at index 0,
always change the buttons title with the setTitle: method."
See <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/
MenuList/Articles/ManagingPopUpItems.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/
20000274-DontLinkElementID_4> for more info.
