ApplMenu has one problem, when you hold down the command key you can click
anywhere in the menu to access it.  This is a conflict with Hypercard! You
cannot access the protection mechanisms because you need to hold down the
command key to do it!!!

I would like to see an addition to ApplMenu that allows you to quit programs
without having to go to them first. Something like holding down the shift key
when selecting the application from the ApplMenu.  The reasons for this are
that often I have to go quit an application in order to open up another one.
When you quit an application it will then go to some other application in the
list.  If this happens to be one with a complex window it has to draw it may
take a lone time to update it and thus it slow down the process of opening
up the new application.  Perhaps adding the ability to quit from the ApplMenu
won't take you back to the Finder or where ever you were last but it would
help if it did.
