In OSX, under the "application" menu, is the system wide "Preferences..." menu item. It, in my carbon app, is currently dimmed. I know that there is a 'pref' apple event that one is supposed to include in the core suite of apple events that an app is supposed to understand, like the 'quit' command for example, but the problem is, even with a 'pref' apple event handler installed, the "preferences..." menu item is still disabled. what must one do to get the "preferences..." menu item to both be enabled, and for the application to actually respond to a user selecting it. I cannot find any info for this anywhere on apple's dev web site.
