Harvey,
Thanks very much for your effort on this. It's a nice idea, but
unfortunately doesn't work in practice. To see this, replace
the stub check_file() with some code that actually checks for
the file. Then, at run time, create and delete some files. What
happens is that the menu item activation/deactivation doesn't happen
unless the window is manipulated enough to cause a redraw (I think
this makes sense when one thinks about it).
Here's a simplified example, in case I've missed something.
Thanks again,
Stan (still stumped)
