Actually, I meant that adding heirarchical menus would not be that hard.
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^
I know MPW has customizable menus.
I use them daily.
I still think heirarchical menus would be nice for certain things, such
as on a build menu, i.e. Build -> Regular

You're right about the compilers, at least the C compiler, which is the
only one I've used extensively.  I keep finding instances in the compiled
code like:

@1	move (a7)+,d0
@2	beq @3
@3      move on...

Come on, Apple, what's this garbage?

But, thank god, at least it's close to ANSI.
