I seem to  be  experiencing a bug in the Menu editor of the Alpha 
version of ResEdit  (the latest one distributed with the Software 
Supplement).

First of all, when  creating  a  new menu in a resource file, the 
information at the beginning of  the entry (flags, width, height, 
etc.) come up blank.  Now I know the Menu Manager figures out the 
dimensions  of  the  menu  so  I  wonder    why   you'd  set  it.  
Furthermore, if you don't figure out the menu's flags and set the 
8  digit  hex number correctly (hey, is this an  IBM?)  the  menu 
comes up Disabled.  Very un-Mac like...am I missing something?

Second  of all, when I indicate that a menu item  begin  life  as 
Disabled,   it  only  ends  up  that  way  SOMETIMES,  yet  if  I 
subsequently  edit the Menu resource with REdit and again set the 
item to  Disabled,  it  really  becomes  disabled.    Hummm.  Any 
concurrence?
