Hello Mark!

Ah, I neglected that detail as in object oriented environments the 
same command may act different according to the objects in 
question. Alas it seems not in this case. :(

Well, insertItem() returned '1' what stands for successful 
execution. Strange.

Yes, thank you. Now it works. :)
BTW, I tried it not only with a menu item in a popup menu but with 
one in the system menu too. Like in the popup menu I need to use 
IDs which are multibles of 16. Otherwise the items are shown but 
get no connection to a method.

Sorry, I mixed up returned value and RC. Thank you for clarification.

Best,
