Liam Gumley (Liam.Gumley@ssec.wisc.edu) is good enough to
expand on my rather flippant comments with this:

I would just add the XSIZE keyword to the first line of
this code for those of you who want to see this on a Windows
machine. :-)

base = widget_base( title = 'Menu Test', mbar=menu_bar, XSIZE=200 )

I'm not a fan of XSIZE keywords at all, but Windows will make a
very *tiny* window in the upper left corner of your display if
the top-level base doesn't have a size or (at least) something
inside it.

You are not going to believe this, but you could add a SEPARATOR
keyword to the "Send To" button. :-)

file_but4 = widget_button( file_menu, value='Send To', /menu, $
/Separator)

Ya just gotta love IDL sometimes!

Cheers,

David
