We have three tasks to perform with this menu bar:

File > Exit

For this task, we'll use the following action:

Application.Exit();

Help > Online Help

For this task, we'll use the following action:

File.OpenURL("http://www.indigorose.com/onlinehelp.htm", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Help > PDF Help

For this task, we'll use the following action:

File.Open(_SourceFolder .. "\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\PDF_Help.pdf", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

And like magic, your application is now sporting a shiny, fully loaded (and fully functional) menu bar.
