I am attempting to use the MENUTOGGLE option in a MenuItem to cause the
system to automatically toggle the appearance of a checkmark when the
item is selected repeatedly.  The MENUTOGGLE flag is only mentioned in
the eratta to the Intuition manual.  I think I'm doing everything right,
my menus work, but the darn checkmark won't go away!  The manual
explicitly states that one shouldn't play with the CHECKED bit in the 
structure.  So, is this implemented?  Could I possibly have an outdated
amiga.lib?  


Also, what if I do want to make a checkmark appear or disappear to reflect
some current configuration of a program.  I don't see any way to do it
short of doing a ClearMenuStrip and another SetMenuStrip with the
appropriate CHECKED flags.  Is there an easier way?  

Thanks for any answers!
