To make the menus 'totally' go away, you use the preferences mouse
module.  When you are in preferences select from the horz scrollView
the mouse cell.  Then grab the prferences menu in the upper left
corner of it and drag it down to the bottom right corner.  If you work
it right, you will not even see the last pixel of the menu...  Then
from that point on (after you log back in) you will have all new
programs running with their menus not even around.  I have been
doing this for 1.5 years and don't know why it is not a 'setting'
in NS...  It is the first thing I change when using someone
elses account, when helping them that is...
