In simplest terms?  You don't.

This is commonly seen on the Macintosh, but the IIgs doesn't support it (and
probably never will).  On the other hand, the IIgs supports putting your own
menu bar inside the DA window, which is not often done on the Macintosh.

This is in fact the preferred method - put your menus in your own menu bar
inside the DA window.  See Apple IIgs TN #3 for some examples.
