They have?  I missed this!  last time I opened up a mac file menu, I saw the
same stuff, apple menu(but that's different), then File w/ all the normal IO
stuff including Exit at the bottom.

I just tested my sister--she had the main entries in File memorized, but
NOTHING else...couldn't tell me off the top of her head how to change font
size, or italicize, or etc.

Anyway, I should have said, "New, Open, Save, Close, Print are more useful
than exit."
