I assume that your talking about the menus of the RunRev IDE. Then an
expression like:
  put button "File" of group "revMenubar" of stack "revMenuBar"
Will result in (try to type this in the Message Box):

And an expression like:
  put the number of lines in button "File" of group "revMenubar" of stack
"revMenuBar"

Will result in the number of menuItem (also the nested ones, the
'subItems'). You may want to filter them and/or the separators, '-', out,
but this is the basic.
