    Win32 Resource File Error (C++)

    Hello. I'm working on some win32 stuff, and I keep getting a syntax error in my resource file. I can't figure it out, because I'm kind of new to this stuff. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Here's my problem:
    Code:
    #include "resource.h"
    
    IDR_MYMENU MENU
    BEGIN    
             POPUP "&File"
             BEGIN
                  MENUITEM "&New", ID_FILE_NEW
                  MENUITEM "&Save",ID_FILE_SAVE
                  MENUITEM "&Open",ID_FILE_OPEN
                  MENUITEM "&Exit",ID_FILE_EXIT
             END
             POPUP "&Stuff"
             BEGIN 
                   MENUITEM "&Stuff",ID_STUFF_GO
                   MENUITEM "&Go Somewhere Else",0,GRAYED
             END
             POPUP "&Help"
             BEGIN
                   MENUITEM "&About...",IDD_ABOUT
             END
    END
    IDI_MYICON ICON "text.ico"
    
    IDD_ABOUT DIALOG DISCARDABLE 200, 150, 239, 66
    STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
    CAPTION "My About Box"
    FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
    BEGIN
        DEFPUSHBUTTON   "&OK",IDOK,174,18,50,14
        PUSHBUTTON      "&Cancel",IDCANCEL,174,35,50,14
        GROUPBOX        "About this program...",IDC_STATIC,7,7,225,52
        CTEXT           "An example program showing how to use Dialog Boxes\r\n\r\nby theForger",
                        IDC_STATIC,16,18,144,33
    END
    The bolded line gives me a general syntax error. I'm using Dev-C++.
