> There is a way to somehow reproduce this behaviour in Mac OS X, thatrequires no extra software: create a folder, name it whatever you choose, say "Apple Menu". Put aliases to stuff you would like to have on your Apple Menu. Drag this folder to the Dock (unfortunately, you can only put it at the end closest to the trash can). There you have your "Apple Menu" in the Dock. You can add or delete from your "Apple Menu" folder at will and changes will be reflected immediately, as in the original version.

Luis,
Have you tried that yourself? I just gave it a go, initially trying with an alias of my hard drive, thinking I could easily navigate to any folder on it. However, the Dock doesn't take it. I've tried with a simple folder, no go. It seems the Dock will only accept applications or documents, no folder.
Or am I missing something?

Laurent,
I have dragged my Applications folder to the Dock and it works, *But* I have to either click and hold or control-click. I forgot to mention this (I actually don't use it that much). It produces a hierarchic menu (in a brief test I went up to six levels of nested folders :-)).
Remember, it MUST go in the section of the dock where the trash can is. You can't just put it beside your documents (or it is rejected, which, it appears, is what happened to you).
I am running Panther, but I think it should work in Jaguar also (but don't have any Jaguar running mac to test it).
Luis
