markCharset [the] markChar of menuItem of menu to char
The markChar property returns or sets the character used to mark a menu item. If the item has no mark, the markChar returns empty. Otherwise, it returns the character. Setting the markChar of a menu item to a character also marks the item, that is, sets its checkMark property to true. The default character used to mark menu items is the check mark, a character equal to numToChar(18). It prints in the Chicago font: Examples-- numToChar(19) produces a diamond character in Chicago: set the markChar of menuItem "New" of menu "File" to numToChar(19) set the markChar of menuItem 2 of menu 2 to numToChar(19) set the markChar of second menuItem of second menu to numToChar(19)
Demo Scripton mouseUp if there is a menu "Reference" then set the markChar of menuItem 1 of menu "Reference" to ¬ numToChar(240) -- the Apple symbol in Chicago and some other fonts end mouseUp
