If MFMenu does what I infer from these articles, if you are a Suitcase
user you don't need it at all!

With Suitcase, if you hold down Option before you select the Apple
menu, the desk accessories are left off, and the MultiFinder choices
are right at the top!

Aha, you say, but what if I want to use the Option key to bring a desk
accessory into an application heap rather than the DA Handler space?
Easy:  First mouse on the Apple to drop the menu, then push Option,
then drag down to select the DA.
