AppBar's config file layout

AppBar uses a text file to store the menu layout. This makes it simple for you to edit your AppBar configuration with just a text editor. A future version of AppBar may contain a built-in configure panel (like the Win32 version) but for right now, this makes my life easier.

Please note:

AppBar allows ONLY one level of menus and then a set of apps below each menu. This may change in the future but this limitation makes it extremely easy to program; I'm currently trying to figure out how to allow an unlimited mixture of apps and menus at any depth.

The File Format

Note that the included config file is well commented and contains essentially the same info as this file.

This is the number of TOP-LEVEL menus.
This is the name of the first top level menu
This is the number of apps in this menu
BeIDE is the name of the first app
and this is the filename of the app to launch
Calculator is the second app
and the associated filename to launch
Network is the second top-level menu.
Network has 3 apps in it.
Next come the 3 apps and their filenames.
