Are you sure Hypercard *just* sets the menubar height to zero?  I
could imagine it does this in addition to setting the clipping of the
wMgrPort etc., but notice that the bottom corners of the screen become
rectangular when you swtich the menubar off.  Hurm.

In either case, I thought you also had to modify the grayRgn (Which
you can now get at through a routine instead of using a low memory
global.  Hurrah!) or maybe both the grayRgn and the wMgrPort clipRgn.
