I agree.  I think we may just need to add a menu bar to either the Stock window or the HexMap window. Maybe both.

Though, maybe we should leave that for after we've got core game functionality working.  I don't mind leaving things a bit obscure for the time being so long as we know it's a problem and fixing it is somewhere on our roadmap.
