why is it when i draw a window with border { 0, 0, 200, 640 } it does not
cover up the menu bar? and how do i get the window to cover up the menu
bar?

It's a user interface issue and I agree with it in most cases. Full-screen views are an exception however, and LHG will be using the calls below when I finally feel up to putting a real desktop interface on the thing. (jeez- I'm having enough trouble deciding what the initial release should look like.) >and how do i get the window to cover up the menu bar? With HideMenuBar ($450f) and ShowMenuBar ($460f), which are fully documented in the menu manager chapter of toolbox ref 3. There's not much to document; they handle things intelligently (with regard to other menubar commands and to the extra palettes used for the apple logo) according to the description that's there.
