<A HREF="%ATTACHURL%/extrawebpages4.gif"><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/extrawebpages4.gif" title="Creating new menu item (click for enlargement)" width="500" border="0" vspace="10"></A><br>
   * 1. Language. Decide in which language you want to show your menu-item (en=english, fr=french, nl=dutch, etc). If the installed language of your browser is the same as in this menu-item, the browser will read this installed language.<br>
     The amount of languages you want to install per menu-item is allmost endless. 
   * 2. Task (or Title). Name this menu-item (if your feeling insure, check with an allready installed menu-item).
   * 3. Tab Text. It's only usefull to insert a text here when you are creating a menu-item in the backOffice. If your cargoOffice owns a coloured button menu in the topframe, a coloured tabbutton is made when inserting a text here. It's better to keep the text short then.
   * 4. Task Description. Add a description about this menu-item. What it is about, etc. 
   * 5. Part of (sub-)Menu. Insert the (sub-menu) location, the place where you want to show this menu-item.<br>
     The menu-system consists of different levels. The highest level is "frontoffice" (or backoffice if you want to place ta particulair menu-item inside your backoffice.) For every sublevel you have to use the following element "->".<br>
     For instance, a second level could be adressed like this: "frontoffice->orderentry". If a menu-item is placed under this second level "orderentry", this second level should exist. This can be arranged in (7).<br>
     If you add the menu-item (by using "Add new menu item") at the level you want to have it inserted, the correct submenu will allready be filled.<br>  
     (if your feeling insure, check with an allready installed menu-item)
   * 6. Sequence in (sub-)Menu. If there are more menu's under the same menu-header, you can add a sequence number. The lowest number is showed on top of that particulair menu-block.
   * 7. URL. The actual URL of the menu-item you want to show.<br>
    In general you've got two possibilities:
      * A. The URL can refer to a menu-block header (the darker grey).<br>
        Therefor you have to start with: "showMenux.php?menu=" adding the particulair block you want, ie: "frontoffice->newblock".<br>
        All together you end with this: "showMenux.php?menu=frontoffice->newblock".<br>
       (if your feeling insure, check with an allready installed menu-item)
      * B. The URL can refer to a menu-item. This can be the extra webpage you've created before or a webpage somewhere else on the internet.
         * An extra weppage you've created before.<br>
           You have to start with this part: "/frontoffice/userpages/display.php?page="<br>
           Then you have to add the name of the page you've created, e.g.: "page1NL" (see (1) from screen 2). Note: the name you add has to be exactly the same as the name you've created with your extra webpage function.<br>
           All together you end with this: "/frontoffice/userpages/display.php?page=page1NL".
         * Another weppage from the internet.<br> 
           Fill in the correct URL of the webpage you want to add, e.g.: "http://www.bbc.co.uk/"
   * 8. Target Frame. The cargoOffice consists out of different frames. Depending on the frame target you insert, your menu-item is shown. Check with an allready installed menu-item for all options.
   * 9. User level. If you forgot to whom you wanted to show this menu-item, read UserLevels documentation.
   * 10. Status. Keep active or show inactive if you want to hide this menu-item.
   * 11. System ID. Add: "backoffice".
   * 12. Help Text. The added text is shown in the question mark sign of this particulair menu-item. 
   * 13. Picture. The added picture is shown in the question mark sign of this particulair menu-item. 
   * 14. HTML file. The added HTML file is shown in the question mark sign of this particulair menu-item. 
   * 15. Buttons. Click "Submit" when adding this menu-item or click "Cancel" if you want to cancel your action.
