Thanks for the suspicion-confirmation and docs pointers.
I had seen the conceptual info about the 1 versus zero thing: my
problem with that documentation is it says the first item is stored at
1 - which is written the wrong way around, in that the first item is
stored at zero, but is ignored. I'll fill in the docs feedback form..
thanks,
Rua HM.

I'm afraid so. I think the reason could be (pre)historic - the
original
Carbon Menu Manager (which Cocoa sits atop) constructed menus this
way. It
sucks, has always sucked, and looks likely that (as it has never been
changed despite the vast catalogue of other changes elsewhere) will
always
suck.
I doubt this is the case. NSPopUpButton long predates Mac OS X and
therefore existed long before it was implemented on top of the Menu
Manager. Sounds like convergent evolution to me. A silly choice I
agree, but somehow it got made twice.
