Indeed 'apple menu' is a misnomer, and if the FBtoC team ever decides  
to change it, they will probably choose 'application menu' as the best  
name.

FBtoC inherits many names and practices best described as quaint.
A novice must find it hard to learn that:
     appearance button 1,,,,,, @r, _kControlEditUnicodeTextProc
is a common replacement for the obsolete 'edit field',
and that:
     poke long event - 8, 30
requests an upper bound of 0.5 s for the 'HandleEvents' statement's  
return time. This traditional but oblique code still works in FBtoC.
