> Although the Filesets menu is nice to have (although I found it a bit
> of a bear to set up), I find its position between the application and
> file menus to be continually jarring. Apple's Human Interface Design

>> ) require that the first four menus, left to right, shall be Apple,
> Application, File, Edit -- unless one or both of File and Edit is not
> relevant, and so omitted. I cannot think of an application that
> violates this order. Except Aquamacs, with the consequence that my
> muscle memory moves the pointer to the wrong place when I want the
> File or Edit menu.

> So, may I request that an option is provided to make Filesets a
> submenu of the File menu?
