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?

    There are many attachments in this thread, so you would need to be more specific.  Additionally, you should be able to right click and save the link to your computer.  Any of the none ZIP files in this thread can be opened in a text editor.

    Sorry to dig up old threads but I was searching for the same submenu answer as Chad. I found the solution is to end the submenu by adding a line "(end)" after the submenu.
