Well, it's a long story. But the short form is this - the name of the application that is used to display the application menu name in OS X is stored in the info.pList file that is inside the "Contents" folder of the application bundle (to see it, control-click on your MC app and choose "Show Package Contents", then double-click on the "Contents" folder). If you open that file in a text editor, you will see a bunch of XML, and near the middle you'll see:
<key>CFBundleName</key> <string>MetaCard</string> change the <string> to the name of your app, save the file, and the next time you launch it, it will have your app name in the Application Menu. But remember I said it was a long story? There's more to personalizing an MC standalone than just this. Take a look at my "Understanding Processes" tip at http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/metacard/metacard.htm?proc005 to see what I mean...
