If I understand correctly, Don seems to want menus in his
side-by-side
"panels".
Are we talking menu bar menus or contextual menus?
On macOS the menu bar menu belongs to the application and not a window.

Don will have to answer that definitively.
But quoting from one of his previous posts:
"When I specify 2 frames to be side-by-side using racket/gui, I
believe I would have no problem if all my prospective client
platform did not have a vertical Operating System taskbars. Since I
do have such a taskbar I must use code that takes the width of the
taskbar into account."
"I am currently of the belief that I should refrain from using
side-by-side frames. The upshot is that I can then no longer use
menus either because menus can only exist in frames and I would need
more than the single top-level frame."
That tells me zip about what platform he is targeting, because MacOS,
Windows, and several of the Linux display managers all support some
notion of a vertical taskbar.
However it does suggest that he wants menubar menus. I don't use (or
have available to check) MacOS, so I'm don't know what limitations may
be on 'root menubars, or whether a child frame can have its own internal
menubar (which is possible on Windows and Linux).
