The good news is that you are not weird - the API would confuse even Bill 
Gates himself. The bad news is that to have both bitmaps and text in the 
same menu item means you have to do an Owner Drawn Menu ITem, and that is 
NOT a trivial bit of coding.

In short, there is no easy way to do this. Unfortunately don't have the 
time right now to knock out a demo program so maybe somebody else has 
already done this (maybe).
