Adding a new menu item to Allegro PCB Editor

I want to add, or really append, a new menu item to the Allgro PCB Editor menu. What is the easiest way to handle this without having to modify the installed menu? Maybe someone has an example that I could follow?

Here is a blog post by Tyler Lockman that anyone looking to customize menus and toolbars will find useful - BoardSurfers: Make Menus Your Own – Customizing Menus and Toolbars with Things You Use Daily. To quote from the post "You can add as many custom commands, toolbar buttons, and menu item entries as you like to the tool. Using SKILL to add them will make sure that they are available in whatever release of Allegro layout editor you’re working with, and only the product options and design types that make sense for the command.
