Wacky Submenu Problem under OS X

Yep, that works!

I hadn't even thought to try that.  The problem with the mnemonics 
seems to be with Menu Builder BTW, and I have already bugzilla'd that.  
I suspect it is a separate issue.

I have also bugzilla'd the menu issue, so I will tack this info onto 
the report; also, the mnemonics only need to be removed from the items 
in the submenu to make it work correctly.  Interesting.

Thank you!
