Both are correct: I'm not sure where I picked it up, but I've been doing my
menu maintenance in the script for the menu GROUP, and the mouseDown handler
is indeed trapped. It is also the case that individual menu buttons do not
receive this handler on Mac OS, but thankfully at least we have their parent
group to handle it.
