     It doesn't appear so.  You can certainly put folders in the Apple Menu
Items folder (as I mentioned, that's how the Control Panels choice works), but
that just creates one Apple menu entry with the folder name--you have to choose
it, then double-click on the thing you want from the open folder.  I'd love to
see folders in the Apple Menu Items folder become hierarchical menus in the
Apple menu, but that's probably too late to sneak into 7.0.  (Maybe 7.0.2,
Apple? :] )
