   Ok, can you explain what this does? thks

I hoped that this was deducible from the question it answered, but I
can certainly explain it too.

What this dwrite does is to reassign the command key equivalents of
Newsgrazer menu items. As the case happens to be I really don't like
many of the command key equivalents in Newsgrazer as I rarely use
those items, but the equivalents collide with services menu items
which I frequently use. I used to hack the nib file every time there
was a new release of Newsgrazer, but in the long run that got to be
too much of a hassle, so I decided to use the dwrite instead.
Unfortunately I do not believe that there is a way to actually cause a
menu item which already has a command key equivalent to have none. So
instead I assigned the same unusual command key equivalent to all
unwanted menu items. So in this particular case, the menu items
"Help...", "Next", aso. upto "Record read articles..." all have the
command key equivalent command-. now. "NewsFolders..." got command-M
and "Mark articles read" got command-y.

Clear enough ?
