Does OS X put it there, or does the Rev engine for OS X put it there?

I've found that renaming "Edit" makes the "Preferences" item disabled, 
but I haven't found a way to get rid of it altogether.

I haven't delved into this in XCode, but my hunch is that Apple provides 
a way to write applications that don't have a "Preferences" item, no?
