Ok, makes more sense, but somebody has to do it.

The `Document` menu is for the document, the thing in memory, not the file on 
disk.  Nothing in the document menu relates to the file, and as I said, we 
cannot re-code the document in memory. 

`Reload` is in the `File` menu because it is a file operation.

It does not make sense (IMHO) to mix the two concepts, the document and the 
file.
