Sure there is.  DelMenuItem, described on IM IV-56.  One of many
indispensable routines added in the Mac Plus ROM....

Some day, a new Inside Mac should come out that combines all this stuff
into single chapters.  A lot of stuff in IV and V (and the no doubt
forthcoming VI) seems to get missed just because they're organized as
addenda rather than integrated into the main topic discussions.
