Hi Stephen,
Mac OS X 10.4.6
REALbasic 2005r4 Pro
I am able to create two About MenuItems with Super = AppleMenuItem:
one in the FileMenu (FileAboutfromFile), a second (HelpAbout) in the home made
HelpMenu...
So, I suspect that you created two and forget one of them: check your Menu Items
in the MenuEditor...
Note to REAL Software readers:
I am able to create two Preferences in the Menu Editor at design time, but only
one is displayed in the "empty application"...
So, two more things to change there:
a. a test to reject the second About (AppleMenuItem), at design time
(so only one About will be added in the Application)
b. a test to reject the second PrefsMenuItem at design time.
HTH,
Emile

I created a menu item for my about menu, and set it's parent to
AppleMenuItem. In OS X it appears on the Application menu, but there
is another disabled item "About App...", I'm assuming the one that is
automatically put there.
How can I avoid the duplication. I tried with both three periods and
an ellipse to see if matching the name exactly would cause it to be
replaced but no luck so far.
On Mac OS X, read the Human Interface Guidelines (check on Apple site the pdf /
make a Google request). I think that the required stuff is three dots (...) now.
It was the three dots character (ellipsis ?) that was required under Mac OS 9
and below...
