There has been a lot of discussion that the Mac Interface would need a two-
button mouse to be able to effectively deal with pop-up menus (except where
you have some sort of button to click).  How about if a double-click in the
window title-bar (outside of the close box and the zoom box) brought up a
pop-up menu for that window?  I prefer double-clicks to modifier keys (I
really hate modifier keys for the mouse--I would almost rather have a multi-
button mouse--now if every application was consistant with modifier keys... :-)


For the most part I like the Mac Interface, and I like the menu bar for the
active application at the top, but with bigger screens, thats a lot of mouse
moving.  Perhaps a double click in the top menu bar or in the open desktop
would bring up the finder menu.
