For a graphic demonstration of why menus are easier to use at the top
of the screen than in the middle try the INIT that wraps the mouse
around, go off the top and you arrive at the bottom.  Go off the side
and you arrive on the other side.  Much harder to use, for me at
least.  I kept over shooting the menu, I depend on the fact I can slam
the pointer to the top and it will be at the top.

This does not mean that MultiFinder is not confusing sometimes with
the changing menu bar, just that not all menus are created equal,
those at the top are easier to use.  (Though the pop-ups from HierDA
are pretty easy...)
