LONG IF menuH&
  IF (gFilesEnableFlags& AND BIT(_iOpen)) THEN CALL ENABLEITEM(menuH&,_iOpen)
  IF (gFilesEnableFlags& AND BIT(_iSave)) THEN CALL ENABLEITEM(menuH&,_iSave)
  IF (gFilesEnableFlags& AND BIT(_iSaveAs)) THEN CALL

where, normally,

_mFileMenu = 1
_iOpen = 2
_iSave = 5
_iSaveAs = 6
_iQuit = 8
