Java Menu Help

Hello,
I am trying to make a program I wrote in my java class more "mac friendly". My problem is my accelerators only work when I pull down the JMenu the JMenuItem is in. I am running this in snow leopard with JavaSe-1.6 VM. They are working like mnemonics more than shortcuts.... Thanks a lot!

Here is a example...
about = new JMenuItem("About");
about.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve nt.VK_A((Toolkit.getDefaultToo
lkit().getMenuShortcutMask()))));
JMenu help = new JMenu("Help");
help.add(about);

If you need more help post your SSCCE that shows the problem.

And don't forget to use the "Code" tags so the posted code is readable.
