I have an application in which I'd like to toggle the text for an item
in the menu bar.  It isn't a popup menu, simply a menu item.  Anyway,
from Volume 1 of the SDK Reference I've wound up with the following:

ModifyMenu(hmenu, MF_STRING, MF_BYCOMMAND, menuId, lpNewMenuStr)

I've read over the API for ModifyMenu several times and this seems
correct.  When I use it, it returns nil and there's no change to the
menu bar (I do call DrawMenuBar afterwards).  I've also tried it for a
menu item inside a popup menu with the same result.

If I call GetMenuString passing in the "menuId" I used in ModifyMenu,
it returns the text which is shown in the menu at that point (I tried
several IDs inside a popup menu and on the menu bar).  So apparently
I'm using the correct menuId.  Is there something wrong with my
syntax?  Is there some way I can find out why ModifyMenu is returning
nil?  Thanks.
