I've got a solution...well kind of. It's clunky and unattractive but it's working.
This is definitely a Director "quirk" that spans MX and recent (heh...and not so recent) Dir. versions across all platforms.
After looking around a bit more on the web and seeing instances of similar difficulties, I employed the oft recommended "fix" of removing and installing the menu.
Now, whenever I've launched a MIAW, I remove and reinstall the menu. There's a visible "bump" when the menu is removed/installed (definitely not pretty) but at least it fixes the key command problem.
It'd be nice if the Macromedia folks would think about fixing this one since it appears it's been a problem (documented by MM folks themselves) since about D5. Hm. Thomas H.?

I've seen this on Macintosh OS 9. Not the other systems.
Is this in a projector or in authoring?

I've some installed menus (using installMenu) which include key
commands. Key commands work fine until a MIAW is opened and then
forgotten. After the MIAW has been opened and forgotten key, commands
no longer work with the projector. Anybody have experience w/this? What
am I doing wrong?
BTW, no problems w/the menus themselves, just the key commands.
