- Hmmm. Maelstrom and several other games don't even give you that many
- menus....and they definitely aren't "cheap port jobs"! Sounds to me
- like it isn't multifinder/system7 aware. I've seen a couple of other
- programs that worked fine on older systems, but lost the apple menu items
- when run under system 7.

- While I agree with you that it should support these things, it is the
- *game play* that is most important.
