So, I decided to create a template with the basic functions and post it here. With all the time I'm spending on writing these tutuorials, I'm afraid I haven't given this page much priority as yet. But, here's what I have so far.

And here's the shell source code to generate the dialog and menu you see above.

#Compile Exe
#Dim All
#Include "Win32api.inc"

%ID_Open = 201
%ID_Save = 202
%ID_SaveAs = 203
%ID_Exit = 204

%ID_Email = 901
%ID_WebSite = 902
%ID_Help = 903
%ID_Update = 904
%ID_About = 905

Function PBMain()

Dim hDlg As Dword
Dialog New 0, "My Dialog",,, 150,100, %ws_overlappedwindow , To hDlg

'Create Bar -------------------------
Dim hMenu As Dword
Menu New Bar To hMenu

'Create File + Children -------------------------
Dim hMenuFile As Dword
Menu New PopUp To hMenuFile
Menu Add PopUp, hMenu, "&File", hMenuFile, %mf_enabled

Menu Add String, hMenuFile, "&Open", %ID_Open, %mf_enabled
Menu Add String, hMenuFile, "&Save", %ID_Save, %mf_enabled
Menu Add String, hMenuFile, "&Save As ..", %ID_SaveAs, %mf_enabled
Menu Add String, hMenuFile, "E&xit", %ID_Exit, %mf_grayed   '%mf_enabled

'Create Help + Children -------------------------
Dim hMenuHelp As Dword
Menu New PopUp To hMenuHelp
Menu Add PopUp, hMenu, "&Help", hMenuHelp, %mf_enabled

Menu Add String, hMenuHelp, "&Email Author", %ID_Email, %mf_enabled
Menu Add String, hMenuHelp, "&WebSite", %ID_WebSite, %mf_enabled
Menu Add String, hMenuHelp, "&Online Help ..", %ID_Help, %mf_enabled
Menu Add String, hMenuHelp, "&Online Update ..", %ID_Update, %mf_enabled
Menu Add String, hMenuHelp, "&About ..", %ID_About, %mf_enabled

'Attach Bar to Dialog -------------------------
Menu Attach hMenu, hDlg
