I discovered recently that the HierDA init/cdev that turns the desk
accessory menu into a secdevs in your System Folder appear as submenus with the Control Panel
menu item) does not work properly with FullWrite Professional.  When
in FullWrite, the desk accessory menu has odd characters (some are the
rectangle, so I can't tell for sure what they are) replacing the right-
pointing triangle that indicates a submenu.  A few of these menu items
with submenus also get one or two of these garbage characters to their
LEFT, in addmode>to the ones replacing the triangle.

Astoundingly, HierDA still functions fine.  The menus act hierarchically;
you just see a very odd-looking menu.

Of c!st!, when you try to use FullWrite's WalkDown menu function, the
DA menu acts even more oddly, but still works (though no longer
hierarchically).  

Does anyone know what's causing this, and what might prevent it?  It
still seems to work fine, so I'm not TOO concerned, but I'm worried that
it might not be as stable as usual.
