Now, when you switch back to Mac OS X, you should find that it is
drawn in the Apple menu, and in Windows, it's drawn in the Help

they appear for platforms that don't have any special place for
such menus (i.e., the Apple menu for AboutMenuItems and
PrefsMenuItems), and then the special location defined by the
platform.

Tried it,
First of all then the Menu Editor is way buggy when attempting it,
when dragging it back and forth then it kept loosing the item so that
I had to re-open the editor to find it again.
Second problem is that it only ends up exactly as I did not want it,
with a empty Help menu on MacOS. (Should have been no help menu)
(Please don't take my flaming to you, I know you are just one of us
now here on the list)
What I am wondering is why is the menu system not like:
1. You have a pool of Menu Items
2. You can take menu items and top level menus from that pool and put it
on any menu for each platform and completely design the menu that
way for every platform.
3. You could leave out (not use all the items from the pool) menu
items on one or more platforms.
(but yet non visible menu objects would be created for them in
case if code is referring them)
Reasoning: The menu system just does not cut it as it is, every time
I create a application I find my self having to maintain 3 projects
to handle the Platform differences.
