I seem to remember that on Version 1.0, the Notepad program had a couple of
Ghosted menu names (such as edit), that didn't crash the system and didn't
havd any entries under them.  Am I mistaken?  If not, how was it done?

Also, when you disable (ghost) a menu item which has sub-menu items attached
can you still get to the sub-items and select them?  Basically, what does it
mean to disable a menu item which has sub-menu items attached?

	Thanks,
