Yes, that's true and has been pointed out to me by several kindly folks. It is
better. BUT, what if joe user wants to change the keyboard equivalents (not that
ANY are available in MS Word 3.0 :-) )? Or wants to change the style of one of
the menu items, or add an icon, or any of the other variables that the original
MENU resource gives control over?

Perhaps if someone actually pointed out to Microsoft that there is a set of
Macintosh User Interface Guidelines they would lay off with the collections of
assembled quirks they use for interfaces. I like their program, but it really
seens like it belongs on a PC or something else out of the last decade . . .
