Cascading Option Menus

[Peter Haworth]

The recent thread on mouseDoubleup and particularly Richard's thought on HIG have made me realise the UI choices I made weren't the best.  I'm now thinking of using a cascading option menu.

The menuPick dictionary entry says "If the menu item is part of a submenu, the menu item label is followed by a vertical bar (|) and the submenu's label."
but what I'm seeing is just the actual submenu choice with tabs at the front of it.  

I don't think I can make this work since I could have the same submenu item listed under more than one main menu item.  What am I missing?

This is all on a Mac.
