Read the mail of Fabien Bodard carefully again:

 editmenuitem = NEW Menu(rightmenu,FALSE) AS "EditMenuItem"

yes you are correct, i looked right at it and still didn't see it.
discovered this for myself last night while i was going over the IDE 
source code.
theirs A LOT of things that can be learned by reading that source code.
i believe i'm going to be doing a lot of source code reading over the 
next few weeks.
btw thanks everyone for helping.

upgrading to fedora core 5 today, afterwards i hope to be able to 
compile the lastest dev. version of gambas.
(then i'll be able to give you guys reallllly big headaches)
