Perhaps you corrupted memory some. Their is in unused field in the 
menubar record (I forget which at the moment) that actually has
an undocumented use. If it is non-zero and MenuSelect is called
constantly (TaskMaster calls MenuSelect every time), then menus fall
down just like when AutoMenus is installed. MenuStartup checks for a
message, I think type 2, to set the default menubar's field, but
it derefences the handle incorrectly (ldy 2 instead of ldy #2).

This unsupported, unguaranteed feature was described by Matt Deatherage
in GEnie's A2Pro a while ago.

See the Hardware Ref and the Firmware Ref. The Firmware Ref has a good
summary at the end and the Hardware Ref goes into more detail.
