I want to define the key equivelants for MENU entries in the resource
fork of an application (MacKermit), but have a way of turning the
equivalants on and off, hopefully without doing something like:

to turn off a key equiv.:
   get the string equiv. for MENU entry
   remove the string meta character seq. for the key equiv.
   put this string back as the new entry.

to turn on either:
a) same as above except adding the key def. (real bad, since it requires
   coding the key equivalents in the program -- a no no).
or
b) reload the menu defs. from the resource file on disk.


Any suggestions?  Is there something that works like CheckItem?  Should
there be?

		thanks in advance,
