- You have to add a Services Item to your menu before your application can
- provide services to other applications. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe adding the
- Services item forces the linker to bring in other code or maybe the services
- menu communicates with the WorkSpaceManager. All I know is that it works. To
- add a Services item in IB, simply drag the Services item from the menu palette
- to your main menu.
