Has anybody created a PM program with two levels of menu?  What I'm
trying to do is to create a menu system where there is a menu bar and
below the menu bar is another menu bar where the user can select
a disk drive.

A good example of what I am trying to do is the program FDISKPM.EXE. 
Where the program allows the user to select between the hard disk.

If you have any sample codes or suggestion, please let me know so I can
upgrade my current program.

Thank you,

Why don't you have a submenu with the title "Drive" and the submenu items
be the drive names themselves?  This way, (at least) the menus would be more
CUA-ish, and thus easier to use.  Use DosQCurDrive (I think) to get the
current drive being used and a bitmap of all of the valid drives on the
system.  This way, you can immediately place a checkmark next to the drive
that the system was started from.
