Learned another menu quirk:
You can't use hierarchical menus in the Help menu on a Mac. Works
when Edit Menus are true, but the minute it's in the Mac menubar, it
hangs.
This works:

Hierarchical menus work fine in the rest of the menus.
Also, in a multistack program, with many embedded stacks, I put a
"show menubar" in th open/resume handlers of the primary stack, and a
"hide menubar" in the openstack handler of the auxilliary stacks.
So that the game doesn't ball up if someone opens the stack that
advertises our other programs, and then chooses a menu item relating
only to the game, where the game stack must be the frontmost stack.
I played with setting the default menubar of the auxilliary stacks,
but decided hide/show was the easiest and safest route :-)
