Apologies if this has been covered before.

I want to make an option button that displays a hierarchy of sequential directory paths (the kind of thing you see in some FTP and file browsers). The contents would look something like this:

  /
  /Users
  /Users/kosmo
  /Users/kosmo/mealtickets

I have 2 questions/concerns.

1. The docs say that "/" is a special character in menu items. (To quote: "Putting the / character anywhere in a line makes the next character the keyboard equivalent for the menu item.") This doesn't seem to be the case with Option menus, and they display normally. (And escaping with "//" displays "//".) However, I can't see this specifically described in the docs. Can someone confirm that this is the case (i.e. that / is allowed in Option menus)?

2. On Mac OS X (Windows seems OK), if there is only a single line in the menu, and that is "/", then the button behaves as if there were no contents at all -- no menu pops up and no menuPick message is received. One workaround appears to be to put a space after the "/". But if someone knows a better way, which doesn't involve special parsing in the menuPick message, could you let me know.

Cheers
Dave
