Stacks and Menus (Mac vers. Windows)

[Rolf Kocherhans]

Well maybe I did not explain well enough, I do want on the Mac side 
to have the menus in the menubar, and I do want the menus to be in 
the individual Windows of the Stacks on an PC.

So that a user from each platform has no problems to use the stacks !

My question was, how do i go about having menus distributed into 
several stacks ?
Is it possible at all ?

On a Mac, since the menu is displayed in the menubar you can open 10 
other Stacks after that, the menus work then for every open Stack.

On windows it is not so, because the menus are displayed in only one 
Stacks Window.

My question is, how do I go about, that every stack on Windows has 
cloned menus from the first loaded Stack ?

Can I say something like "Stack "Dialer" display the menues of Stack 
"Application Navigator"", or do I have to make menus in every Stack 
so that they are displayed in every window, on an PC !

I know that the second method works, but if I want to change a menu I 
have to change it in every Stack !

Cheers
Rolf
