menu woes...

Jeanne,
     Many smart people have posted to this list with stack resizing problems 
after adding menus to a stack used on OS X. The documentation does cover how 
menus are supposed to work. About six months ago I showed you a group of stacks 
on which I was having the resizing problem; we eventually worked around it by 
setting the stack sized specifically in an openStack handler (putting the 
same code in the preOpenStack did not work). This is not documented. There is no 
recipe for calling menus from substacks or storing them as resources.
     Rev.'s ambitious attempt to accommodate cross-platform menus is 
commendable but, if I may paraphrase Mark, menus are too fundamental to be so 
difficult.
