Peter,

The menu file is stored pretty linearly.

Name gives you the individual item name, LevelName gives you the level at which an item appears. NumItems tells you how many sub items it has. ItemNum tells you which subitem it is. The Propmt without spaces becomes a Name/LevelName for tree branches.

If you create a simple menu and look at the file it becomes wasy enough to see the structure.

It's just a simple scan, skip the first row which contains the overall menu stuff. The order of the rows appears to be a depth order traversal of the menu tree.
