Item information: Item text is entry as it appears in menu(& in front of short cut.
Item Help: appears in the status line when you select menu item or tool.

Item Id: The unique identifier for this choice. Coordinate the numbers for the menu
.

Coordinating Numbers
You should select a set of numbers for each menu. I usually set aside numbers starting at a multiple of 100 plus 1 for the first item in the menu. My first menu starts with 201 and other choices are numbered consecutively. The next menu has first choice 301, etc. You may add status line information for the menu, by adding the menu name to the string table as the first choice in that menu minus 1 (in our example CM_ADD_ITEM - 1). Do not do the computation.
