Joe,

I use those with the Appearance runtime, seem to work so far:

local mode
local fn InstallHierMenu( parentMenu, parentItem, childMenu )
long if fn SetMenuItemHierarchicalID( fn GetMenuHandle(parentMenu), 
parentItem, childMenu ) = _noErr
InsertMenu( fn GetMenu(childMenu), -1 )
end if
end fn


local fn InstallHelpMenu
dim as handle @ helpMenu

long if fn HMGetHelpMenu( helpMenu, #_nil ) = _noErr
AppendMenu( helpMenu, "My Application Help" )
end if
end fn
