The only thing I see is that if R5 had a special BMenuItem subclass named 
_BMCItem_, then removing it would break instantiating BMenuFields that have 
been archived under R5. Not that I know where those would be comming from... 
:-)

Ok, I will just change it and see what happens. I also see nowhere in the 
code that fShowPopUpMarker would be configurable. It is just set in the 
archivable instantiation code. I would have liked if the original author put 
some comments there on why he has done it this way. Maybe he looked at 
archived BMenuFields and saw this field. I cannot think of another reason. 
Anyways... it's going to be removed...

P.S. I found one place where a "BMenuField" did not have the "popup marker": 
The Dial-Up pane in the BONE preflet.
