(mac) application menu

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Peter,

Standalone settings are kept in a custom property set that Rev  
creates automatically at the stack level.
It's named cRevStandaloneSettings and shows up in the stack's  
property palette if 'View/Revolution UI Elements in Lists' menu item  
is checked.
Probably you could check some of these custom properties to find this  
name that should not show up and modify it manually.

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
