There has been some discussion about supporting other MacOS specific menu items, but I don't think that's been done. There's been some discussion about improving the API do fit in with the native Mac menubar better. I have some ideas that I'll toss out here on this list soon that touches on the subject.

Cheers, jeff

Great! Thanks Jeff.

I see that it also handles the Help menu. Is there a way of settings up the About and Preferences menus too? Steve
