I tend to agree with Greg.  I really like this feature of OnCue, and it is always
on.  (Not surprising, since I think it was my posting that Edan was referring to)
In fact most of the people I know like the way that works.  Some of us even
have all the menus set "hot" so that they fall down automatically whenever the
mouse is put into the menubar.  It's a matter of personal preference, and that's
why the folks at ICOM made it an OPTION not a permanent setting...
