I don't seem to have final versions of everything here at home, but
the following rezzes just fine for me under RezIIgs 1.0b5.  The only
things I changed from yours (other than the #include and the #define,
which you didn't show) are (1) changed '' to "" twice and (2) changed
ItemTitleIsResource to RefIsResource, since my TypesIIgs.r doesn't
define an ItemTitleIsResource.

----------
#include "typesiigs.r"

#define AboutItemID 1

resource rMenuItem(AboutItemID) {
    AboutItemID,
    "",
    "",
    0,
    RefIsResource + rMIDivider,
    AboutItemID;
};
----------

Here's the definition of an rMenuItem from my typesiigs.r.  If you still
haven't got it to work, send me *your* definition of rMenuItem from your
Types.Rez file.  (I'm using MPW IIgs, and I assume you're using APW, but
REZ and RezIIgs are extremely compatible.)
