I have the following (simplifed) section in my XAML file:

<Menu Width="Auto" Height="20" Background="#FFA9D1F4" DockPanel.Dock="Top">
    <MenuItem Header="File">
        <MenuItem Header="Exit"/>
    </MenuItem>
    <MenuItem Header="Edit">
        <MenuItem Header="Cut"/>
    </MenuItem>
    <MenuItem Header="Help">
        <MenuItem Header="About"/>
    </MenuItem>
</Menu>

and it results in:

+-------------------------------------------+
| File Edit Help                            |
+-------------------------------------------+
|                                           |

What do I need to do if I want the Help menu item on the right-hand side:

+-------------------------------------------+
| File Edit                            Help |
+-------------------------------------------+
|                                           |
