Notes

• For chooseMenu(), Player (often invisibly) moves the mouse to the upper left corner of the menubar and issues a low-level MacOS "choose menu" command. A few other utilities (e.g. PopChar) use the same spot. To avoid a conflict, you could change the spot for the other utilities or call this verb to change the spot for Player.
• This setting only lasts until a restart so we suggest you include it at the beginning of every script (or put it in a script that runs at startup) if you need it at all.
