Submenus - What am I not understanding?

Am I just tired? Is it really as difficult as it seems to be? I'm not having any luck with submenuing tonight at all and I feel I must be overlooking Something Importantâ„¢, but after hours pouring through the docs I'm just not catching it.

Two quick examples:

1. I have an NSPopUpButton in Interface Builder. When run in my live code, it functions as expected. Pick an item and the menu properly reflects my choice. Add a submenu cell to the list, populate it in Interface Builder, then run. Now choices made in the submenu are not reflected in the menu. Rather I get an empty cell. This seems like it should be very simple, and I don't recall having such issues with submenus in the past.

2. I have an NSTokenField. Populating the tokens programmatically with menus for their represented objects is simplicity itself, including triggering actions on the target. That mechanism works in the test code. However, the token does not reflect the menu choice, much like the submenu choices in the NSPopUpButton appeared to be ignored.

And so I feel I must not be grokking some aspect of the menu system to have these things elude me.

As always, my advance thanks to the group for any light that can be shed.
