That's pretty unique - to only want a menubar in Mac OS; but if that's what
you really want, the best way to make this happen is to hide the group that
should be used for your menubar on MacOS, set the menubar of the stack to
empty, move all of your other controls on the card up 22 pixels, and then
set the *defaultMenuBar* to the hidden menu bar group.

Note that the defaultMenuBar is a global property, not a stack property.

All that it does is identify a group to be used for the menubar; if you set
the emnubar of the stack to empty, you're in effect saying that there is no
group that should be used for the menubar... but that doesn't make the group
*itself* change in any way.
