hi dear, Please follo this link to know how reading and writing text file
Java Practices -> Reading and writing text files

adding help menu is same as you have added file menu

Menu m2=new Menu("Help");
mb.add(m2);

and on click of these menu open a new frame like

class HelpFrame extends Frame
{
//Here you can add a items for helping
}

good luck
