I don't have access to it :-<

I downloaded a program that created the toolbar menu, but it was
created above the action menu, I understood most of what the person was
doing and so was able to modify it so the menu appeared underneath the
action bar.  The only prob I haven't ironed out is how to spaceout the
elements a MENUITEM SEPARATOR does not seem to work.

I turned off the warning using the #pragma.

Thanks for all your help.
