¥ Shorty V is a System Extension that changes the second and third items of the Applications menu which appears at the top right hand corner of the screen. Item 2 will become the Time and item 3 will be the date. I rarely use these items and while writing the other versions of Shorty I was looking for a place to put the time that didn't add to the menubar or clash with other items, like screen savers, and this seemed like a good place. So all that happens is that Shorty V keeps changing the text that appears in the menu, if you hold down the Option key and wait a second then the original Menu items will appear. N.B. the items still operate in the same way, it's just the text that is changed.
Much thanks to Paul Mercer, who wrote the INIT code that brings up the Icon at Start up time. ref ShowINIT.
