Re: FileQuit Menu Item

Yes, I understand that but if I choose the Super of this FileQuit menuitem to be QuitMenuItem, then Quit is not displayed when I run the app.  The upper menuitems are displayed with their shortcuts but Quit is not displayed.

  

If I choose the super of FileQuit to be MenuItem, then I see this:

  

I could change Quit to           Quit              Command-Q
but this would certainly not be standard.
