Right click brings up a menubar at the top of the screen. The menubar
is non-existent, out of the way until the user calls for it by holding
the right mouse button. This on AmigaOS 1.x and 2.x, I have never used
3.x, so I don't know if the menus are the same.

The benefits with this is that no screen space is wasted on the menus,
the drawback is that you have to move the mouse a bit. Maybe menu
appears instead of window titlebar would be a good idea too?

Anyway, the current menu style suits me fine.
