Yes it would be useful if there was only one library called "win32lib".
However, I can't prevent somebody from changing their copy of the library.

The two ways of getting around the "need" to change one's copy is to get the
changes into the offical library (but this takes time) or create an add-on
to the library. I hope that I've structured the library to enable add-ons to
be created without too much work. I can see you support the add-on approach.

You have done essentially the same as I have. The main difference is that I
do it at create time and you do it after create time.

To summarize your routine...
  --Create a menu (or more accurately - a menubar item -) in the normal
manner.
  --Scan through the window's menubar until you find the one just created.
  --Convert it from a POPUP style to a COMMAND style.

To summarize my routine...
  --If the user asks for a COMMAND style create a COMMAND style menu else
create a POPUP style menu.

Thanks for your routine. It is a neat example that shows that add-ons are
very possible for the library.
