Menu Grabber 1.3.1
ftp://sumex-aim.stanford.edu/info-mac/gui/menu-grabber-131.hqx
A fascinating illustration of the power of Menu Events, Menu
Grabber lets you pick an application from any Macintosh on the
network, and presents an identical copy of its menu bar on your
screen (but in bright red and white-on-black, just so you
realize what you might be getting into). While grabbing an
application, you can pull down a menu or use a keyboard
equivalent to simulate the same action on the target
application.
This application can be useful in network management, and to
people like me who sometimes forget to close a needed document
before leaving the office.
Version 1.3 adds a handy Refresh button, and makes it easier to
deal with applications whose menus are sensitive to modifier
keys. Version 1.3.1 adds compatibility with Mac OS 8.0.
