Use the 'name' keyword when creating the menu itself: ---------------------------------------------------- from Tkinter import * root = Tk() mb = Menu(root) root.configure(menu=mb) ## Normal menu fm = Menu(mb) fm.add_command(label='Quit', command=root.quit) mb.add_cascade(label='File', menu=fm) ## Help menu with a specific name hm = Menu(mb, name='help') hm.add_command(label='About...') mb.add_cascade(label='Help', menu=hm) root.mainloop() ---------------------------------------------------- I didn't test it on MacOS-X, but the same trick should be used when creating help menus on Unix (this menu is supposed to appear at the right of the menubar according to Motif conventions).
