Indeed, it appears I had a subtle bug in my help menu, serves me right 
for adding it manually rather than through the resource editor.

However, the FileExit_select problem is real. Try adding a line to your 
method above self.Close() which does something. Anything really. I tried ;
     print "Exiting application ..."

and saw no output on the command line. Trying a variety of other things 
and none of them got executed. Which leads me to believe that the 
binding isn't quite right on Mac OSX. I still haven't been able to 
verify if this is a problem on other platforms but will try and have a 
go this weekend.

Andy
