Hi, Steve.

A TMenuItem doesn't *have* a ShowHint property, this is what my problem
is.

Thanks, Steve, but I've tried several (all I could think of)
combinations of setting the ShowHint property, doing stuff in an
Application.OnHint method, etc. Nothing works for me.
I'm surprised that a TMenuItem has a Hint property but no ShowHint
property. How does Borland expect that that hint will be used?
