You CAN'T use ResEdit. Microsoft decided not to keep their menus in MENU
resources. Maybe the titles could be in a 'STR ' or 'STR#' resource some
place, but I couldn't find them. Perhaps Robert, you can search through
the resources and find them. I, too, would like to make room for the
clock, WordFinder, Tempo II and the Multifinder icon. If there is a way to
change them to things like Util, Doc, Fmt, Win, etc., I haven't found it. The
Commands... item lets you add and remove items to/from the menus, but I
can't see how to modify the menu bar. Drat.

I have suggested this sort of ability to modify the menu bar to Microsoft.
Cross your fingers.
