Certain menus in a menubar will be treated specially. On the Macintosh,
-access to the special Application and Help menus is provided. On Windows,
-access to the Windows System menu in each window is provided. On X Windows,
-a special right-justified help menu is provided. In all cases, these
-menus must be created with the command name of the menubar menu concatenated
-with the special name. So for a menubar named .menubar, on the Macintosh,
-the special menus would be .menubar.apple and .menubar.help; on Windows,
-the special menu would be .menubar.system; on X Windows, the help
-menu would be .menubar.help.

-When Tk sees a .menubar.apple menu on the Macintosh, that menu's contents
-make up the first items of the Application menu whenever the window
-containing the menubar is in front.

After all of the Tk-defined items, the menu will have a separator,
followed by all standard Application menu items.
+Such a .apple menu must be present in a menu when that menu is first
+configured as a toplevel's menubar, otherwise a default application menu
+(hidden from Tk) will be inserted into the menubar at that time and
+subsequent addition of a .apple menu will no longer result in it
+becoming the Application menu.

+toplevels are automatically appended after all the Tk-defined items and
