Ok, I'm new to Cocoa and Interface Builder, etc. So I was playing with it and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to add additional NSMenuItems in a drop down menu! I can delete them just fine (delete key .. how convenient). But I can't insert a new item. I've tried open-apple-N, everything.

Any help?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Don't be disheartened, once you learn how to use it IB is tremendously slick. To add a menu item in IB just double click the popup menu so you can see all the menu items then drag a new menu from the menu palette. You want to drag the plain "Item" menu for a popup menu although you do the same thing for main screen menus and then you can drag whole menu trees like the "Font" tree in one go. Once you have a menu called "Item" in your popup menu you can then edit it just by double clicking.
