There is a tool called "Menu Builder" in MetaCard, but I have also the idea
that it has a bug that moves the menu off screen. Scott...?
Anyway, the way I solve it by now is the do-it-yourself-way, and not very
neat, but it works. For each menu I make a button (style: pulldown), with
the options in the contents of the button. For example the contents are:
Copy
Paste
-
Select all
Then the script would be:
on menuPick choice
if choice is "Copy" then copy
if choice is "Paste" then paste
if choice is "Select all" then select cha1 to -1 of field "Text"
end menuPick choice
Eventually you could group all this buttons, and make a script
on openStack
if the platform is "MacOS" then hide group "Menubar"
else show group "Menubar"
end openStack
Hope this helps,
Sjoerd
