- To make the menus 'totally' go away, you use the preferences mouse
- module. When you are in preferences select from the horz scrollView
- the mouse cell. Then grab the prferences menu in the upper left
- corner of it and drag it down to the bottom right corner. If you work
- it right, you will not even see the last pixel of the menu... Then
- from that point on (after you log back in) you will have all new
- programs running with their menus not even around. I have been
- doing this for 1.5 years and don't know why it is not a 'setting'
- in NS... It is the first thing I change when using someone
- elses account, when helping them that is...
