Well, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but when I put this code in exactly, and right click in the text area, all I see in the context menu are "Cut", "Copy", "Paste", and "Select All". The only way to see a context menu with "BAR!" in it, is to click the very edge of the text area. This really isn't what I'm looking for. I really need to add menu items to the Cut-Copy-Paste-Select All menu.
