The following are just some things I found out by playing arround with the RSC. For the sake of clarity, I call the objects in the menu bar 'items' and the individual objects within a menu item 'selections'. - When dragging menu items from the 'part-box' to the menu bar, place it to the right of the last menu item. If it overlaps any previous item, the menu items will be rearranged. - You can set how wide the highlighted bar will be when the menu item is moused in the application program by dragging the lower-right corner of the highlighted area when the menu item is selected (highlighted) within the RSC. This also affects where menu item(s) to the right will be placed in the menu bar. - You can resize the drop-down area by 'dragging' the lower-right corner. You can enlarge this area only if the area is empty. For example, when you first create a menu tree, there is already an item called 'File' with one selection ('Quit'). You would have to remove this item in order to enlarge the area. You can, however, shrink it even if it is not empty. - Within the application program, when the mouse is over a selection within a menu item, the selection is highlighted. The width (and possibly height) of this highlighted area can also be set with the RSC. This is done by 'dragging' the lower-right corner of this highlighted area within the RSC. - Robert Ling
