You mean, besides the expected roll-up?

What version are you using? It should say "LiveCode" now. I mean, it 
shouldn't say anything IDE-related, but if it was going to error, it 
should say LiveCode.

I think you need to add an Edit menu. All operating systems pretty much 
require one, even if it's disabled. The engine assumes the last item in 
the Edit menu is "Preferences" and tries to move it to the Preferences 
location on OS X, and I'm betting it's getting confused because you 
don't have an Edit menu.
