Initiating a script from a created menu

Question

Ok,
I admit that I am a novice with JavaScript, although I have experience developing using Xcode with ObjC and lots of interapplication scripting with AppleScript.
However, I am clearly missing some very basic concepts trying to do some very simple things to script Adobe Bridge.
For instance, I have followed the tutorials and have had no problem running and customizing versions of SnpAddMenuItem.jsx and SnpCreateThumbnailInspector.jsx.
Now, let's say I put the SnpAddMenuItem.jsx in the Startup Scripts folder for Bridge CS6. (works fine and creates menu on launch.)
However, instead of displaying an alert, as in the demo:
alertCommand.onSelect = function (m)
        var txt = m.text;
        // Display result as UI, as this is UI sample
        alert("'" + txt + "' was chosen menu item");
        // run javascript
        //SnpCreateThumbInspectorPanel.Main();
I want to run  SnpCreateThumbnailInspector.jsx.
Do I:
Call the script by referencing it's location on disk
Include the CreatThumbnailInspector code as a function in the AddMenuItem script and direct function.OnSelect to run that function
Or is there some other method that I am totally missing?
I have scoured the documentation and much of the sample scripts and can't seem to figure out this seemingly simple concept.

There should be many examples here on the forum, here is one that you can play with...
#target bridge  
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { 
var menu = MenuElement.find ("myNewBridgeMenu");
if (menu == null){
var newMenu = MenuElement.create( "menu", "My Bridge Scripts", "before tools/ps", "myNewBridgeMenu" );
WhatEverYouWant = MenuElement.create( "command", "Test Script", "at the end of myNewBridgeMenu",  "BridgetestScript" );
WhatEverYouWant.onSelect = function () {
    alert("This is my new script");
