Hi Norbert, Wayne,

indeed, I can confirm that on Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Jave 1.5.0_19), there  
is an almost empty menu bar (only the Apple and the "ImageJ" column)  
for a text window if
   Plugins>Menu>New Text Window...
has the "Menu Bar" option off (I guess that it should rather have the  
standard ImageJ menu bar?)

So, in the macro it should be
         run("Text Window...", "name="+title2+" menu");

Best wishes,

Michael
