I have a couple - for Norton and Now Contact/Up To Date. I removed them, 
with no effect.

No. In fact, I barely need a menubar as I have pretty much everything 
out where you need it. The only thing I really need is to intercept the 
quit message to ask the user if they want to save the data (to text 
files) I may just use the "shutdownRequest" to do that and forget the 
menubar.
