The ID keyword is optional on some of the resources...

Regarding the Menu problem:

When compiling the rcp-file (with pilrc), you should see a set of .bin files
in your build directory. They all have the resource type as its prefix and a
hex-number as the rest of the filename. (ex.: tfrm0e8a.bin). Your menu
should be compiled into a file called something like "MBAR03e8.bin", where
03e8 is replaced with the ID you use on the menu. When you compile all the
binary resources into a prc-file with build-prc, all bin-files should be
included in the final prc-file, since you (if I remember correctly from your
previous postings) are including *.bin on build-prc's commandline.

To see if the final prc-file actually includes your resource, use a tool
like par:

Writing par -t your.prc on the command line will hopefullly show you which
resources that made it into the resulting prc-file.
