I brought up the point about the menus that conflicted with everything and was told that the REAL reason was that at the time, MicroSoft had no way of pulling down menus from the keyboard and accessing menus without the mouse. So they had to write their own menuing code. FullWrite manages to pull down menus from the keyboard and still use MENU and MDEF resources.
