To make a sub-menu item, you need to start the line with a tab. The
"!c" can be added either before or after the tab.

Here is a script of the sort I use for constructing menus dynamically:

    put "Main" & cr into tMenu
    put tab & "Sub 1" & cr after tMenu
    put tab & "!cSub 2" & cr after tMenu
    put tab & "Sub 3" & cr after tMenu
    put tMenu into btn Menu"

And for an easy way to uncheck everything:

   replace "!c" with empty into btn "Menu"
