Why, you can't. There doesn't appear to be a way to get a reference to the Application menu at all. > > I suppose the workaround is just to code the Menu items.

I'd suggest filing a feedback request. If you have special needs, it is certainly possible to replace all of REALbasic's menu stuff with your own menu code. It is possible to use Interface Builder to do the layout, load menus from a .nib file and and get the full capabilities of Mac OS menus. You would also have to supply your own menu-handling, of course, so it is some work.
