This is the continuation of the Derived Mode 101 HOWTO thread.
Johan and Stefan were able to help me to set up syntax highlighting.
The following file extends the derived mode by adding keymaps, bindings
and a menu.
It seems to work for me on both emacs and XEmacs. I would welcome
comments and observations. My idea for this is to then change the
substring "newlisp" to something like "dmode" and (require 'scheme)
to (require 'parent-mode) and then we would have a derived-mode template
that could be used to pretty much derive for any programming mode.
Documentary comments would also be included.

Google around and see how other packages use the easymenu package.
The typical way to use it is to have somewhere at the toplevel:
(easy-menu-define foo-menu foo-mode-map "Foo mode menu."
'("Foo"
[...]
[...]
...))
and then in foo-mode you do
(easy-menu-add foo-menu)
and that's all there is to it and it should work on both Emacs and XEmacs
(cross-compatibility is the raison d'être of easymenu.el).

:-) Just realized that the code I included *did not* include a menu.

and I have menu working for both forks. For cross-compatibility XEmacs
needs a more verbose approach, including passing the keymap as an
argument. I will post the template later, when I've got time to
annotate with some documentation.

I've used the above code in sml-mode and AFAIK it worked both in Emacs and
XEmacs. So, I don't think you need "a more verbose approach" for XEmacs.

Here's what I have done:
;; toplevel, called from derive-mode form
(defun newlisp-menu ()
"Create Newlisp Menu for emacs/XEmacs"
(defvar newlisp-menu-var nil "Newlisp Menu Definition")
(easy-menu-define
newlisp-menu-var newlisp-keymap "Newlisp Mode Menu"
'("Newlisp"
["Test" test-fun]))
(easy-menu-add-item nil nil newlisp-menu-var))
;; Works on both forks.
;; Tried changing
(easy-menu-add-item nil nil newlisp-menu-var)
to:
(easy-menu-add-item newlisp-menu-var)
;; worked on Xemacs not on gnu emacs
