What's On The Menu?

[Peter Haworth]

Thank you Richard.  I think your post finally made me understand what's
going on.  I had failed to realize that pulldown menus are intended for us
in menubars, not as freestanding controls.  This may be the first time I've
thought about putting a menubar in a window on a Mac, be interesting to see
how it works.

I still feel though that there is a place for cascading menu items in an
option menu, similar to contextual/popup menus.
