it's one of few valuable things i learned in the academy where i
studied:
the first thing to do with a new client, is to translate their wishes
into that what they really want. usually something completely
different than their initial demands.
if you manage to have them realise they actually don't want this non-
solution (for a start, Shawn touched that subject, they will possibly
have to invest again and again on each itteration of the OS..)
but IF, i imagine you could create a solution in which you monitor if
the user opens this 'Go' menu, and if they do you just display some
custom contextual (interactive) help-palette next-to(ontopoff/etc..)
the menu.
probably the accessibility framework has some usefull features.

Well probably the best thing you can do then, is to create an
NSStatusBar menu, in the upper right of the menu bar. This would
give the user access to it at anytime, not just in the finder. You
could easily do what you want from that then. But what they want
you to do is just not feasible, and if you could do it, it would
break with OS updates most likely.

Under the Finder's Go, iDisk menu, they want a link to launch an
email with instructions for connecting to the idisk. This would
be handled by Applescript, and I have no issue doing that provided
I can get the app to launch.
The second one is they want the idisk "Connect to:" url copied to
the clipboard. This too I was going to do with applescript,
provided I can get it to launch.
That's it. Launch two different applications, from two separate
menu items.
Thanks,
Ben
