Almost.  In the 128K ROMs, the menu bar height is stored in a low memory
global (MBarHeight).  The Radius FPD allow the user to have a larger menu
bar; also the Kanji system software uses a larger menu bar, since Kanji
fonts are taller.

So if the machine you are running on has 64K ROMs, then the constant 20 is
OK.  Otherwise, check the low memory global.
