I think we're all in agreement with you, Hannie.

The big point is that the manual must be clear and obvious to the
reader, without causing confusion with the help system and other areas.

At this point, I am in agreement with "menu bar", not because I think it
is right (I don't), but because it would be consistent.

In the glossary and when introducing the term "menu bar", we would have
to explain that we mean the long thin bar at the top (as opposed to the
long thick bar at the left, which of course is the Launcher).
