The trick by assigning a shortcut using Option as modifier key for the show menu items hides those superfluous items. And that additional shortcut is disfunct. All a bit awkward indeed.
Thanks Christiaan for this useful info! I'm amazed about your knowledge, I would never have guessed.

Choosing such a menu command results in the AppleScript being opened in the Script Editor. This happens only for some of my AppleScripts installed, AFAIC for no apparent reason or obvious difference among the scripts.Does anyone know how to get rid of these superfluous menu commands and perhaps can someone explain how they came into existence in the first place?Thanks. AndreasHave you assigned shortcuts to these scripts? The extra "Show..." menu items are usually hidden, and only shown (replacing the normal item) when you hold the Option key (that's a feature). However this behavior assumes that the normal item does not have a shortcut. I would not know how to avoid that when the normal item has a shortcut. Apple does not give us any way to do that. You can hide them yourself by assigning the same shortcut as the normal item but a different modifier (typically, adding an Option).Christiaan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
