What is the mechanism for putting all of this stuff in the Apple menu
when an application creates its menus?  I assume it is done
automagically (similar to the way that Multifinder does it).  If desk
accessories are now just entries in the Apple Menu folder, then what
is the effect of calling AddResMenu (in the old fashioned way)?
Should applications do this (if only for backward compatibility) or
will the practice be discouraged in System 7.0?
