 MDI and Child Form Menus / Menu Editor

I have an MDIForm with a few menu items displayed, and several MDI
Child forms with additional menus.  I would like to append (rather
than replace) the child form menus to the MDI form menus.  This would
allow a common set of menu items to be displayed alongside
child-form-specific menu items.
I am using VB5 and have tried playing around with NegotiateMenus but
to no avail, as I believe they do not work with MDI forms.
Can anyone advise on what approach I should try.

Also, does anyone know of a freeware menu editor as the VB5 one is
very limited?  I would like to see a tree representation of my menu
structure if possible.

TIA

Mike

There is no CopyMenu API - but the MSDN covers the topic pretty well.
Basically - it's  Createmenu associated with other Menu APIs
