Even tho' I have played with hypercard I had no idea what a tear-off menu was. ..i had to ask someone...they said..."Some Mac people think floating menus are new.... to me it's a floating menu...this is a standard part of SunTools and Apollo Dialog...nothing new at all... actually a refinement of what you call the tear off menu ... is that you click inside a window and a menu pops up...tho' if you *only* have one button on your mouse this might not be practical. (I must confess I think one button mice are obsolete...the above being just one reason...i also think mechanical mice are worthless ...On Apollo's and Sun's it is possible to "program" each mouse button ...so if you want the first button is "SELECT", second can be "OPEN AN EDIT SESSION" on the file name i am pointing at, third might be "ICONIFY" (make window into an icon) )
