do mymenu.mpr
read events

>>The define menu command builds the menu within the vfp main window. The system menu is outside of the vfp main window, so menus built by the menu builder will appear above the toolbar, but 'define menu' menus will appear below the toolbar when the toolbar is docked because when docked, the toolbar is (by definition) at the top of the vfp main window.
