Danny Goodman makes a valid point re: HC and the interface guidelines, when he suggests that, indeed, sometimes you MUST hide the menu bar when the commands that are displayed have nothing to do with your stack's operation. It is far more confusing to a user to see a menu item that he or she can pick that does nothing. Remeber that (ideally) you are designing your stack for an end user that you have no idea of how HyperCard literate (or Mac literate for that matter) they are. I think messing with the userlevel is naughty and would rather see the menubar hidden than have the stack set my userlevel to 2 or 3 (or 1 goodness sakes!).
