Now I am really curious how tear-off menues will work in system 7.0.

Will all menus be tear-off?

Will this be a boolean option in every MENU resource?

Will you have to hit a special key to tear off a menu?

If no special key is necessary, won't it become harder to make menu
selections (without inadvertently tearing away the menu)?

What are the "right" semantics for pulling-down a menu, when the
tear-off is already sitting on the desktop?
