unicode menus

[ron barber]

Hi Kenji,

1. Thanks for you suggestion. I was unclear what was becoming mojibake 
(junk). It is not the menu name but the contents of the menu. It 
consistently corrupts itself, even after I set it to the unicodetext of 
a fld, as Tuviah suggested. I am still working on this problem, it 
appears to affect only the file and edit menus. The others maintain 
their items.

2. Encouraged by Tuivah, I kept trying multiple cascading menus and 
they can be done, my problem was with a particular character. The 
Japanese char. for 'color' - iro - would not show up in a menu for 
formating text. The menu has 4 items: font, size, style, color all in 
Japanese. They are all cascading. The last menuitem does not show up 
unless I change it to 'textcolor' or something. This is only a problem 
when it is put in the menubar of OS X, not as a btn on the card. Can 
you confirm this?

3. The menupick is returned as a unicode string, but it does not get 
caught by the switch statement in the script of the menu.
How do I evaluate the menupick with unicode?

Thanks
Ron
