something I noticed the other day

Here's a little quirk I wonder if anyone can explain:

   I've been writing a small graphics program, say, prog1.c.  This program
   opens a graphics window and draws a few things, nothing much.  When I
   want to kill it, I just go up to the top of the window and select the menu
   item that says "Quit prog1".  This is the menu that all the windows 
   provide to pop, push, stow, etc., so its not something I put there my self.
   Now, the next day I change the name of the program to say, prog2.c.  Same
   program, just a new name.  I recompile everything and run it again.  Now
   if I run the program again and want to kill it in the same way as before,
   the menu item still says "Quit prog1".  ** It doesn't show the new name of
   the program **.  So, I figure, well I'll just wait until tomorrow, maybe its
   cause I'm doing this all in the same day.  Nope.  Still does it a week 
   later! 
   This is not causing any problems or anything, I don't care what it says
   when I go to kill the window, I'm just curious where it gets the old
   file name from all the time, even long after its been changed.

Just wondering,
