What, if any, is the incantation that will tell me the rect of the

I don't think there's any API for determing the menubar rect, so I would suggest using the Carbon API FindWindow (in MacWindows.h); it returns inMenuBar if the specified point is in the menubar.

If you are going to use Carbon APIs you could get the main device. The menubar rectangle is then

(0, 0) to (screen width, menu bar height)

The proble you may have is that the quickdraw coordinate system is inverted with respect to the default core graphics / NSView coordinate system.
