Is there a shortcut for this in 7/8/9?

Is it not the apple button? It might be cmd apple but I'm sure it is the apple button.

One useful trick I do in OS 9 (which Apple made far too difficult, for no good reason) is to put an alias of the desktop folder in the Apple menu.

The command/apple key doesn't work. I read somewhere that it's control+F2 on newer macs but that doesn't work on 7/8/9.

Considering that I don't really understand what you are wanting a shortcut from and to, I can't really offer any assistance.

He wants the equivalent of the windows key/ctrl+esc for the start menu, but for the apple menu.

There's a little Apple icon on the very top left side of the screen. When you click it you can access the system profiler, about this mac, select a control panel, and so on. I need a shortcut for that so I can just hit a button or a combo of them and have it drop down. That way I can just use the arrow keys and Enter to select whatever I want.
I'm guessing there isn't one for 7/8/9. I wonder if I could add one in resedit or something...

AppleScript and a third party scripting utility?

Considering that there is little support for that method of interaction elsewhere in the operating system, I would seriously doubt that there is any way to use the Apple Menu with the keyboard only.
