Menu Builder

[Pete]

Thanks Jacque.  Things appear to be working now but I have no idea what
combination of things I did to make it happen, and I hate that.

Your explanation and the links helped explain it all.  As Joe said, if only
this was in the User Guide, there'd be a lot less nervousness about using
the menu builder.  I'll go back to Mark's original comment in this thread -
maybe it's not buggy once you understand it but it's definitely
"unintuitive".

I have one remaining issue to deal with and that has to do with some window
resizing I do which now will have to take account of the menu group,
probably differently on Windows than on OS X.  Fortunately, the code to do
the resizing is all in one handler so once I figure out whether to add the
26 pixels or subtract them, all should be OK.
