OK, Bill, here's how it works in Rev... :-)

The easiest way to do it is:

1) Open the menu editor (Tools -> Menu Builder)
2) Create a new menubar
3) Design the menus the way you like (if you want to) and click "OK". The
menubar will be placed on your stack.
4) If you have other objects on your stack, select all of them (except for
the menubar that was placed on your stack) and move them down below the
menubar.
5) In the Menu Builder, click "Set as Menu Bar on Mac OS" (this assigns your
group as a menubar and sets the "editMenus" of the stack to false - which
also shifts everything up and hides the menubar group)

The rect of the stack remains the same because the physical dimensions of
the stack window don't change after the menubar group has been assigned and
hidden. 

HTH,
