   In using hierarchical menus, I have attempted check mark the item

   greatly appreciated.

From Inside Macintosh V (p. 236):

	When the itemCmd field has the hex value $1B, the
	itemMark field contains the menuID of the associated
	^^^^^^^^
	hierarchial menu.  (These two fields are used because an
	item with a submenu never has a check mark...)
