add menus or buttons to menu bar or tool bar, where is a how-to?

I feel sure there must be a how-to on this somewhere but I'm not finding it.
The vim related documentation on the web is a HUGE haystack.

Ideally, I'd like to define buttons and menus, indicated by text, not icons,
and put them both on the menu bar and delete the tool bar. If that's not
possible my second choice is to edit the toolbar, removing most of what's on
there and putting on a user-defined button or two. It would be nice to be
able to edit the menus too. Or some of what I want to do could alternately
be accomplished by defining key bindings. Most immediately, I want to make
cntrl-w toggle wrap like it does in cream. If I could also put that function
in a button that would be very nice. If I could put the button on the menu
bar instead of the tool bar and delete the tool bar that would be very, very
nice indeed.

If anyone could point me toward something simple and step-by-step explicit
on any part of what I'm looking for I would appreciate it.

I'm a gedit-refugee, new to the vi family of editors. I finally got tired of
waiting for the gedit devs to fix the line-numbering-with-large-fonts bug so
I looked around. X2's color scheme sucks and isn't editable. Several
otherwise good editors don't so syntactic color coding. Cream is pretty
nice, and I love the toggle-wrap and intelligent indentation anticipation,
but it takes a loooooong time to start. So right now I'm focusing on evim.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
