Hi Joe,

I see are using Mac OS X. Rev does weird things with menus in OS X to try and make them fit into Apple's guidelines. Mostly this works very well but you have to know what's happened. In the Rev Help menu, go to Topics and read the section titled "Menus & the menu bar". This gives lots of info about menus in general and what is different about OS X menus.

Problem 1: In order for all my menus columns to appear I need to have a
"phantom" help menu on the end that I don't want.
Sorry, this seems to be obligatory. The Help menu also needs to contain your About menu item which will actually appear in the application menu 2nd from the left.

Problem 2: I want to add "Select All/A" to the edit menu and it won't let me add anything after the traditional cut, copy, paste, clear. What stupid trap
did I fall into?
I guess you don't have a Preferences menu item? The last 2 items of the Edit menu (normally a divider and Preferences) are chopped off and the Preferences menu item is access through the application menu. Even if the last 2 items are not a divider and Preferences, they will still be removed from the Edit menu. Put them in and you'll be able to add whatever you want above them.

Similarly, the last 2 items of the File menu are removed. These should be a divider & Quit. This can be a problem if you only have a Quit item in this menu as it then appears empty which is most disconcerting for the user. I always make sure I put something as well as Quit in the File menu, even if it is only replicating a button click.

HTH,
Sarah
