   Menu1
	  Item1
	  Item2
	  SubMenu1 -> SubItem1
			   -> SubItem2

   create a menus.rexx file:

   -------------------

   /**/
   address AMBIENT
   'menu add id="m1-0"                     title="Menu1"    type=menu'
   'menu add id="m1-1"   parentid="m1-0"   title="Item1"    type=item command="echo Item1" commandtype=amigados'
   'menu add id="m1-2"   parentid="m1-0"   title="Item2"    type=item command="echo Item2" commandtype=amigados'
   'menu add id="m1-3-0" parentid="m1-0"   title="SubMenu1" type=menu'
   'menu add id="m1-3-1" parentid="m1-3-0" title="SubItem1" type=item command="echo SubItem1" commandtype=amigados'
   'menu add id="m1-3-2" parentid="m1-3-0" title="SubItem2" type=item command="echo SubItem2" commandtype=amigados'
