[about menus in windows]

I think the way McSink does it is excellent.  It puts a horizonally scrolling
menu bar in the window, just under the title bar.  

This way, provided the standard menu bar is eliminated, no more screen real
estate than is already used would be taken up.

For applications that don't normally keep a window open, a simple mechanism
like keeping the copyright window up (with the menu bar) would suffice.

What do you think?
