Total Commander (English) • How to add my own menu (in english)

I would like to add my own menu, eg like this:I have googled, read TC wiki and a lot more, but failed to find a simple ELI5 answer - so clearly I must have missed the obvious


* I see that c:\Program Files\totalcmd\LANGUAGE\WCMD_ENG.MNU is an english menu
** Though I was expeting this con to reside in c:\Users\<%USER%>\AppData\Roaming\GHISLER
* I have copied+modified a single section form there and given it a new name POPUP "&MyMenu" ... END_POPUP (to start with a known good syntax)
* Saved it in the same folder as file WCMD_ENG.MNU
* Re-launched TC

Expecting it to be loaded (like an *.inc file in the apache configuration)

But clearly something else is needed...!

I do see that all other that the ENG language is made up of *.INC, *.LNG & *.MNU files, (the english versions are liely embeded ion TCM itself, hence not as seperate files

I also see that I can point to a seperate language file in Conf -> Options -> Languague
BUT I just want to add to the existing menu structure (add my MyMenu main menu item)

I also see that I can install petermad's extensive menues (https://madsenworld.dk/index-uk.htm?wincmd/index-uk.htm)
but in stead of trying to reverse engineer that installation process I'd rather get a quick simple guide
