One of the first things I noticed about MPW 3.0 is that my menu bar is now
too wide.  There is a new menu for Projector, which I will be using.  This
means that my menu bar is now one item wider than it was, and it now pushes
right up against the Multifinder small icon at the right hand edge.

There are two problems with this.  First, the slightly displaced Multifinder
icon no longer works (clicking on it does not context switch).  Second, what
if the next version of MPW adds yet another menu item, or if I want to?

What I would like to be able to do is move one of my menus off the menu bar,
and make it a submenu to one of the others.  Does anyone know of any way of
doing this?  If not, Apple MPW team, how about adding this?  Something like

	AddMenu File/Special 'Subitem 1' 'Subitem 1 commands ...'

to add a hierarchic menu Special to the File menu?
