No, it is an old MacPerl bug which was squished round about June/July this
year. ASFAIK, or remember, TrackControl() works properly in the current
version 5.2.0r4. What version are you running? Let me know, because other
folk may run into the same difficulty.

I should have mentioned this potential problem, and would have done but
that I had forgotten about it.

I hope Dr. MacP when he has settled in will find a day to take Menu.xs in
for examination and maybe minor surgery.
