can't get rid of menu bar in Windows

[Slava Paperno]

Thanks, Ken. So there's nothing magical about the Menu Builder--it's only a
handy device for making and grouping buttons. And "set the menubar of this
stack to X" doesn't change the behavior of the stack--it's only a pointer. I
got it.

I must still be doing something wrong because now that I have this scripts
in the openStack handler, the only menu I see in Mac OS X is the default
one, with About... and Quit. None of my grouped buttons is turned into a
menu.

====
set the menubar of this stack to empty --no menu bar is used in Windows, but
there is a hidden group "MainMenu" on card "MainCard" that is used for the
system menu in Mac OS X

if the platform is "MacOS" then
   set the defaultMenubar to group "MainMenu" of card "MainCard" of this
stack
else
   set the defaultMenubar to empty
end if
====
  
I know that group "MainMenu" is well-formed because when I do activate it,
all menus work fine on both Windows and Mac. So something else is missing...
