          somewherre in that long thread, keyboard shortcuts are discussed:

          as for grouping menu commands in under a single submenu, as far as i know it's not possible via the SDK API.

          you can only add your end items to existing menus.

          if you really really have to, you can hack your way into the menu and add it via the OS menu.

          AE is a program that uses os res to create it's menu, if you get AE's process and bundle, you can access it's menu res and change it programmatically.

          (just don't expect it to be easy or elegant...)
