I want to define the key equivelants for MENU entries in the resource fork of an application (MacKermit), but have a way of turning the equivalants on and off, hopefully without doing something like: to turn off a key equiv.: get the string equiv. for MENU entry remove the string meta character seq. for the key equiv. put this string back as the new entry. to turn on either: a) same as above except adding the key def. (real bad, since it requires coding the key equivalents in the program -- a no no). or b) reload the menu defs. from the resource file on disk. Any suggestions? Is there something that works like CheckItem? Should there be? thanks in advance, -- Paul Placeway -=- Existence is beyond the power of words To define: Terms may be used But are none of them absolute.

There are 2 new calls documented in Inside Mac volume 5 called GetItemCmd and SetItemCmd. These do exactly what you want to do. These routines should be patched onto a Mac Plus running System 4.1 or later. -- Larry Rosenstein, Object Specialist Apple Computer, Inc. 20525 Mariani Ave, MS 27-AJ Cupertino, CA 95014 AppleLink:Rosenstein1 domain:lsr@Apple.COM UUCP:{sun,voder,nsc,decwrl}!apple!lsr
