1. wxEuphoria - MDI window menu ordering

When I create a wxMDIParentFrame, etc. the "Window" menu becomes the first menu.
Any menus I create after that are appended to the end. It looks really weird
having "Window File Edit" on the menu bar.

How do I get my menus behind the Window menu?

Here's a modified version of the mdi.exw demo:

include wxeud.e
without warning

constant
parent = create( wxMDIParentFrame, {0, -1, "The Parent MDI Frame", -1, -1, 600,
480}),
menubar = create( wxMenuBar, parent ),
client = create( wxMDIClientWindow, parent ),
children = {
            create( wxMDIChildFrame, {parent, -1, "Child 1"}),
            create( wxMDIChildFrame, {parent, -1, "Child 2"}),
            create( wxMDIChildFrame, {parent, -1, "Child 3"}),
            create( wxMDIChildFrame, {parent, -1, "Child 4"})
            },
file = create( wxMenu, {menubar, "&File", 0, 0} ),
file_exit = create( wxMenuItem, {file, wxID_EXIT, "E&xit"} )

procedure parent_onClose( atom this, atom event_type, atom id, atom event )

    exit_main()

end procedure
set_event_handler( parent, -1, wxEVT_CLOSE_WINDOW, routine_id("parent_onClose")
)

procedure file_exit_onClick( atom this, atom event_type, atom id, atom event )

    exit_main()

end procedure
set_event_handler( file, wxID_EXIT, wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED,
routine_id("file_exit_onClick") )

wxMain( parent )

The File menu still appears after the Window menu, despite being given an index
of zero. And I don't know how to create the menus before the wxMDIParentFrame,
since that control is the parent of everything else...

Also, I've found that if I create the menubar after the wxMDIChildFrames, all
the child windows are sized to their smallest dimensions (effectively {0,0}) but
if I create the menubar before the wxMDIChildFrames, the child windows are all
their default size of {390,232}.

I don't think you're looking at the proper version of wxEuphoria. The lastest
and past few releases only have a single include file, wxeud.e
