Here are the symbols:


-  makes a divider between groups of menu items
!c makes the menu item a hilited check box
!n makes the menu item an unhilited check box
!r makes the menu item a hilited radio button
!u makes the menu item an unhilited radio button
(  makes the menu item disabled

Have your script insert "!c" before the checked menu item, and remove 
those 2 characters to uncheck it. The "check box" refered to above is 
mostly for Linux use. On a Mac, it shows the system menu checkmark 
instead. You don't need the unhilited check box, it isn't part of the 
Mac OS.
