   Personally, I think Miguel is just being argumentative. ;-0  I do
agree though; I prefer the Help menu to be right-aligned.  Perhaps right
next to it we could do an 'addmenuitem<Preferences>.  Unconventional?
sure, but it would end this under file or under edit debate.  Barring
that, I say definitely NOT under File.  I (as a user) would assume
preferences under File to mean document preferences. (Yeah, I want 8
character tabs)
