Would the phrase "six feet under" be clearer?
For those who still don't get the idiom, it means to bury, or in effect, to kill something. That's what I've done with class-based menus - they are a cool idea, but dog-slow in practice. I now prefer to use the old-fashioned Menu Builder and .MPRs for my apps.
If there seems to be significant interest, I can go back and look over the mods which were necessary to accomplish this in Codebook. I believe I just added an application-level logical property, and had other parts of the code, such as toolbars, check that before assuming anything about the existence of menu objects. It could then be added as an option in the framework.
