Disable OSX App's menu? - no; but at least handle the "Quit during modal" properly

[Barry Levine]

Alex,

Yes, perhaps "disable" is inappropriate given that it's not disabled in 
other OSX apps. However (and as we've both seen), selecting "Quit" from 
the app menu in the middle of a modal dialog should not prevent the app 
from quitting later on. I'm sure this is another symptom of the bug 
#536 I reported earlier.

I've also eMailed the support at runrev.com link for assistance as this 
is, certainly, a major bug that would prevent me from releasing my app. 
Telling the customer "don't do that" is not an acceptable workaround.

Regards,
Barry
