Re: Disabling undo between events

I implemented -undo: and -redo: in my view, and now it's all working 
the way it ought to--except that the Undo and Redo menu items aren't 
titled correctly. That's easy enough to fix, by sending -
undoMenuItemTitle and -redoMenuItemTitle to my undo manager. However, 
the strings returned include ampersands (&), which I assume are for 
the benefit of Windows (key alternate indicators.) I just strip these 
out, but is there a different message I should be sending that won't 
return strings with ampersands, or is it expected to be the caller's 
responsibility to remove them?

Thanks,
Jonathan Grynspan
