autorun lua:
local function toggle_topmost()
local mainForm = getMainForm()
if mainForm.formstyle == "fs_system_stay_on_top" then
mainForm.formstyle = "fs_normal"
else
mainForm.formstyle = "fs_system_stay_on_top"
end
end

local function add_menu_item()
local toolsMenu = getMainForm().menu.items[4]
if not toolsMenu then
showMessage("cannot find menuitem_tools")
return
end

local miToggle = createMenuItem(toolsMenu)
miToggle.caption = "TOPMOST"
miToggle.onclick = toggle_topmost
miToggle.visible = true

add_menu_item()



1: it's fsSystemStayOnTop , not fs_system_stay_on_top
2: the tools menu isn't always at index 4 (use MainForm.ools1)
3: Often the tools menu is invisible, so make it visible
4: you need to add the new menuitem to the tools menu, just creating it as it's owner doesn't mean it gets added to it

at the end of add_menu_item add this:
Code:

    MainForm.ools1.add(miToggle)
    MainForm.ools1.Visible=true

This is so strange—the newly added menu items still aren't showing up.
