Indeed it does help, Peter. I now see why I was so confused with the behavior I was encountering when I tried setTitle: initially. setTitle: does its business only if the new title is different than the current title. We are building a new main menu with the new application's name already in place. Doing the following sets the menu's title correctly when the title is already set to "New Title": [[[[NSApp mainMenu] itemAtIndex:0] submenu] setTitle:@""] [[[[NSApp mainMenu] itemAtIndex:0] submenu] setTitle:@"New Title"] Always appreciative of the help, Peter.
