	There is one other solution which is MUCH cleaner, and is probably a
better way to do it.  There is this neat thing called the WindowMgrPort (you
can get it using the GetWMgrPort(VAR wPort:GrafPtr) call ($A910)) which is a
GrafPort which covers the entire desktop (including multiple monitors).  You can
then make a copy of the WMgrPort (NEVER draw into the real WMgrPort!) and then
draw into the new copy whose origin is at 0,0 (so over the menuBar).
