Hi,
the [super validateMenuItem:theItem] made the trick. I didn't think about
it. Now it works very well. Thank you.
And, I don't know anything about that "&" in the item name. Yes, it could be
a shortcut indicator for the first character. But since I use
[super validateMenuItem:theItem]  I don't have to play with it anymore, so
forget. Thanks a lot.

Best Regards
