Who said anything about random buttons on the screen? You can easily set up
your pop-up menus so that when you hit the right mouse button a menu appears
right under the mouse with all the top-level topics (DA, File, Edit, etc...)
visible. From there on it behaves just like the Mac system... without having
to move the mouse all over creation.

You don't have a two-or-more-button mouse? Sorry. My point that the solution
to this design flaw (pull-down menus) is inappropriate on systems that don't
share it remains valid.
