Definitely the program needs to support "command keys" as well as 
mouse-chosen menu items. If the program has NO other command-equivs,
you can count on adding a CMD-Q not doing anything.

Another thing to consider, however, is that MenuEdit is BUGGY. I threw
mine away after spending hours tracking down an apparent bug in one
of my programs, only to discover that MenuEdit had given my program a
completely corrupted menu resource to begin with.

I like Allan Goates MENU editor which integrates itself with ResEdit...

Neither allow creating NEW menu items as far as the last release I've
seen, however.
