The system really, really wants the menubar there. Try going into HyperCard, bringing up the message window, and executing hide menubar I haven't tried this under MF, but it does hide the menubar under Finder 5.5. This is necessary, because some stacks USE the extra space (for example, the rather odd periodic table stack that went through comp.binaries.mac recently, and a rather infantile porn stack that someone gave me). I would be *VERY* surprised if this failed under MF - Atkinson has specifically stated that he wanted HC to give programmers control of the entire screen. The HC paint tools work under where the menubar used to be. Oh yes, for the extremely naive, the way to get your menubar back is: show menubar -- Howard A.
