Menus and the pointer tool on Windows

I guess this is another very naive question, but the answer is not easy to find in the LC documentation. If I allow the user of a Windows desktop app access to the pointer tool so that he/she can move objects around, select them etc, how do I protect the menu group at the top of the window? I m

If you script answer color or answer color with "red" etc on the Mac, you get the standard MacOS color palette, which has six different ways of showing colours (I'm British, it's 'colour' over here... but I digress). I would rather restrict the user's choice to one of the really simple op
