In article <10059@hoptoad.uucp>, tim@hoptoad.UUCP (Tim Maroney) points out the
problems with hierarchical menus going away if you deviate from the narrow
drag path from the main menu to the hierarchical one, and how there's no
obvious way to patch for this because it's all internal to MenuSelect.

In article <2857@draken.nada.htk.se> d88-jwa@nada.kth.se (Jon W{tte) points
out that IM documents that there is a hierarchical-menu popup delay and drag
delay documented, but their locations are not.

     I've seen a CDEV that governs this exact thing (called MenuDrag, or
MenuSelect, or something like that).  There is indeed a popup and a drag
delay for hierarchical menus; their values are stored in the PRAM (the
extended area, I believe, so you'd have to use the xPRAM INIT to make changes
stick on a Plus).  I have no idea what the specific location is, however
(I'm at work and don't have my Mac or my IM manuals handy...)  Check the
ftp sites for the CDEV, and check the IM documentation of the PRAM bytes for
the exact location.
