Problem with Edit/Preference Menu Item

[David Burgun]

Hi Again,

I've been at this at least 7 hours now and I just can't think of  
anything else to try. There really isn't much that can go wrong  
script wise. As far as I can tell this just plain doesn't work! If  
the docs told you a little more it might be possible to try to track  
the problem down but as it is....................

Guess I'll just have to ship this App with a disabled Preferences  
Item in the Application Menu and an Enabled Preferences Item in the  
Edit menu, I hate doing it,  but I don't have any other choice.

All the Best
Dave
