In article <1679taylorj@yvax.byu.edu> taylorj@yvax.byu.edu offers an
idle handler to detect when the pointer is in the menubar:
>on idle
>  [. . .]
>  if the mouseV + the top of card window < 20 then
>    if not inMenuBar then
>      send mouseEnterMenu to this card
>      put true into inMenuBar
>    end if
> [. . .]

To get even fancier, for the case in which you're running on a system
with multiple monitors, you'll need to test the horizontal position
also (to determine whether the pointer is on the main monitor):

  if (the mouseV + the top of card window < 20) and ~
  (the mouseH > item 1 of the screenRect) and ~
  (the mouseH < item 3 of the screenRect) then
  [ etc ]
