Or get a copy of the freeware control panel device called 'HierDA.'  This
cdev does several very useful things, and I find it invaluable.

     *  Creates a submenu for each desk accessory in the DA menu that has
        its own menu, so that you can choose a command from the DA's own
        menu BEFORE opening the DA (doing so opens the DA then calls the
        menu item).

     *  Brings up a full hierarchical menu bar anywhere on the desktop
        outside existing windows.  This menu bar includes all of the menus
        currently at the top of the screen (it arrays them vertically,
        rather than horizontally), and includes all submenus.  All you need
        to do is click on a bare part of the desktop in any program.  In
        the Finder, you need to hold Command-Shift to do this, since you
        need to be able to click on the desktop in the Finder.  In any other
        program, you can call up the menus ON TOP of windows, just by 
        holding Command-Shift while clicking.

     *  In the DA menu, the Control Panel is given a submenu (it doesn't
        normally have a menu) that consists of a list of all cdevs in the
        System Folder as of boot time.  By choosing a cdev from this list
        your Control Panel opens with that cdev at the top, and open,
        which is MUCH better than having to search through all of your
        cdevs, even alphabetized, for the right one.  This feature alone
        makes HierDA worthwhile.

Definitely a program worth getting hold of.
