OK. I did.

This change set makes it easier to lock down an image for application
delivery.

By executing:
        Preferences disableProgrammerFacilities
from your personalized World menu and saving the locked image under a
new name, the following features are disabled:

* Halos
* Meta and Debug menus
* Command keys in world
* Command-dot interrupts
* Debuggers (though notifiers will still come up)
* World menu (from mouse or key)
* Command keys other than editing & cursor in text

The yellow-button menus in text panes will still come up.
It is assumed that text panes in your app will have their own
yellow-button menus.

Two existing preferences have been made available in the Preferences
tool:
cmdKeysInText           -- enables the use of many cmd (or alt) keys 
in text
editors
cmdGesturesEnabled      -- enables halos, debug menus, etc.

Another two new preferences have been added:
appendToErrorLog        -- appends to the error log rather than 
replacing it
noDebugButton           -- suppress the ability to open a debugger 
from a
notifier

You can add this to your personalized World menu:
        aMenu add: 'disable pgrmr' target: Preferences action:
#disableProgrammerFacilities.

Or you can add:
        Preferences disableProgrammerFacilities 

to your do... menu list.
