mlInitializing the menubar without Interface Builder

Hi all,

How do I setup the menu bar if I'm not using Interface Builder? 
Here's some sample code that pops up a window, but there are no menus.

I could answer this myself if I could see the source code for 
NSApplicationMain, but that's not available, correct?

thank you,
Rob


#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

int main()
{
    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    NSApplication *app = [NSApplication sharedApplication];

    id window = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect: NSMakeRect
(10,10,100,100)
                                  styleMask: NSTitledWindowMask | 
NSResizableWindowMask | NSClosableWindowMask | 
NSMiniaturizableWindowMask
                                  backing: NSBackingStoreBuffered
                                  defer: NO];
    [window makeKeyAndOrderFront: window];

    id m = [[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle: @"Test Menu"];
    id mi = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle: @"Test Menu Item"
                                action: nil
                                keyEquivalent: @""];
    [m addItem: mi];
    printf ("mainMenu: %p\n", [app mainMenu]);
    [app setMainMenu: m];
    [NSMenu setMenuBarVisible: YES];

    [app run];
    [pool release];
}
