I'm again grateful to you for your quick and effective help.
It was not clear to me from the docs that null pointers to menu items were
interspersed in the menu. That explains the effect very well.
I took the loop literally from the tips page without realizing that it was
meant as a toy example.
I also take your tip on the use of shortcuts. As I do not use them myself, I
cut'n'pasted too much, did not test them... embarrasing. I guess it is ok to
use the same shortcut for entries on different submenus, as "File/&Close" and
"Edit/&Copy". At least the german version of Firefox has plenty of those cases.
Thanks again,
p.
