It's a _very_ long time since I've tried to make a proper desktop app. Please
help me get my mind back into how menubars work.
Per the dictionary, the value of `the defaultMenubar` is a group reference,
and the example given is
set the defaultMenubar to the long ID of group 1 of stack "Menubars"
That makes sense, as it's always "reachable" as long as the owning stack is in
memory.
But the dictionary says that `the menubar` is just the _name_ of a group.
So is that interpreted on the current card? And does that mean the menubar
group must be every card of the stack - presumably with backgroundBehavior set?
And the dictionary also says that the menubar takes effect "when a stack is
the active window". How does this interact with windows that has been opened
with the 'palette' command? Do they reset the menubar?
And if we want to use a separate sub-stack to hold all our menus - as sort of
implied by the example given for `the defaultMenubar` - do we need to abandon
use of 'the menubar', and instead explicitly change `the defaultMenubar` as
different stacks become active?
TIA for any tips and advice!
Ben
