Enabling "About MyApp"

[Richard Gaskin]

My comment was in reply to George's request about desktop menus.

Mobile systems have no menu bar of course, so any conventions that apply 
to menu bars don't apply to mobile platforms.

I did a couple searchs to try to find an answer for your mobile 
question, and posted the results here:
