N00b Menu problem 1

[devilmech]

Ok, I have a problem. I'm trying to learn how to create menus, but I can't get my menu to show up on my program. This is my program code:
_______________________________________________
.386
.model flat,stdcall
option casemap :none

WinMain proto WORD,WORD,WORD,WORD

include \masm32\include\windows.inc
include \masm32\include\user32.inc
includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
include \masm32\include\gdi32.inc
includelib \masm32\lib\gdi32.lib

.data
ClassName db "WinClass_1",0
AppName db "A retarded Window",0
char WPARAM 20h
MouseClick db 0
MenuName db "FirstMenu",0
Test_String db "This is a test string",0
Hello_String db "Hello, you devil",0
Bye_String db "See you later, bro",0

.data?
hInstance HINSTANCE ?
CommandLine LPSTR ?
hitpoint POINT <>

.const
IDM_TEST equ 1
IDM_HELLO equ 2
IDM_GOODBYE equ 3
IDM_EXIT equ 4

I have defined my menu in a resource file named the same thing as my asm file. I tried to compile the resource file, but it says rsrc.rc cannot be opened. So I renamed my resource file to rsrc.rc, and the resource file compiled, but it still will not show up in my program. I'm using QEditor to compile everything, because I don't know how to do it manually. If anyone can help, or knows somewhere to get info on manually compiling my program, please help. Sorry for the long message, I'm a newbie just trying to understand

I'm away from a windows box right now so I can't test but it appears that should change:
mov wc.lpszMenuName, NULL
TO...
mov wc.lpszMenuName,OFFSET MenuName ; Put our menu name here

The Iczzi tutes are a good place to start for win32asm. you can also ask at...

This does appear to be the problem. &quot;Information has a tendency to be free. Which means someone will always tell you something you don't want to know.&quot;
