AboutMe allows you to personalize your stack by adding a "About MyStack..." choice to the Apple Menu.
An "About MyApplication..." menu choice is the Macintosh standard way of providing information about your application to the user. You can now add this feature to your stacks.
If you like AboutMe and plan to use in your stacks, feel free to do it. However, if you send a registration fee of $5 and a blank disk, We will send back to you the XFCN RmveAbout. This XFCN will allow you to remove the "About" menu choice created by AboutMe, so you would ideally call AboutMe in the OpenStack script and RmveAbout in the CloseStack Script of your Stack.
Please send registration fee and blank disk to :

Syntax:
AboutMe(aboutMessage)
<aboutMessage> is text to be displayed in the Apple Menu.
Values returned by XFCN:
0 => successful execution
-1 => parameter is missing
Note: AboutMe hides the menu bar, so it is up to you to redisplay it if needed.
When the user selects the menu choice added by AboutMe from the Apple Menu, the message "doMenu aboutMessage" is sent to Hypercard. You should write a script to handle the message and display the information needed to identify your stack.
