     Vim has several items under the Edit menu, where "Preferences..."
used to be in most Mac apps.  I think the standard distribution of vim
includes a "Settings Window" menu item, which does the same as

:options

The system gvimrc file that I distribute adds a "Preferences..." item as
well.

     More recent apps have the Preferences item under the app menu, but
we do not seem to have a way to set that.  See #5 on the list of bugs at
http://macvim.org/OSX/index.php#Bugs .
