Ok, I guess I have to be even more explicit :-)

On the Mac, when a menu is drawn using the Mac's native menu or popup 
menu control (as opposed to the non-native menus that are available in 
Transcript), sub-menu items (i.e. menu items that causes a sub-menu to 
appear) will not generate a MenuPick message.
