When the Iyonix came out, Castle recommended some tweaks to a few of the
conventions to do with applications.  For example, they asked authors to
include "Help..." as the second item on the iconbar menu, after Info.

I have a vague recollection that there were some suggestions to do with the
Messages file or maybe setting system variables to show the version number of
the application.  This would be useful for finding out what the version was
without running the application and looking at Info.  Use cases include a
utility that could trawl the hard disc and index what applications were
installed where.

I cannot find the web page any more.  Does anyone have a reference to these
suggestions?

Thanks,
