	That would also be solvable using the STR resource if the program
	used the standard functions to get things into the menu.  For instance
	the string "Open.../O;New/N;Save/S;(-;Quit/Q" adds a menu with
	Command O, N, S, and Q in all the expected places.  Styles and
	icons can be added in similar manners.  Although the user has
	to know a little bit more about what's going on behind his back.
