]As Dave already said, the Apple menu symbol is always drawn in color #1, and

]they closed WriteIt!, and why they needed two of them.

]The answer to the last one is "You don't need two of them."  CK just put it
]in to see if it was possible, and he left it in because he didn't want to

yes, matt, you're completely correct. however, the situation will never
arise where i have two apples since i don't even use the system menu
bar for my SYS application.
