I have received an answer to my GetItemMark question; where I said:

>	char markChar;
>	
>	GetItemMark(theMenu,theItem,&markChar);

I was supposed to say:

	short markChar;
	^^^^^
	GetIemMark(theMenu,theItem,&markChar);

because the Pascal CHAR type is really a short, only the LSB of which is
used.  This is actually documented in the LSC manual; I couldn't find it
in a quick examination of IM, but I'm told it's there, too.  I guess the
moral of the story is RTFM(VVCARIA) (Read The F* Manual Very Very Carefully
And Remember It All).

Thanks for the responses.
