	One of the things that Owen forgot to mention, that is SO important that
without it your code will not work, is that even if you do not install it in the
menubar, it needs to be inserted into the Mac's MenuList.  You do this using the
InsertMenu command, but instead of passing it a 0 as the beforeID, you pass it
as -1. (This is the same way that Hierarchical menus are installed)
