KT> In the following member function why do we have: ? 
KT> EnableItem(menu, iNew); instead of menu->EnableItem(iNew)           
KT> DisableItem(menu, iClose); instead of menu->DisableItem(iClose);
KT> menu = GetMHandle(mFile); instead of menu = mFile->GetMHandle()

Are you ready to blush? Those are all ToolBox calls, part of the ROM routines
built into the Mac, not member functions of an object.
