Visual Basic 6.0 outlines steps to create a basic project structure and menu system to organize examples and exercises. Key steps include: 1. Creating a new project with a main form, setting properties, and adding a menu with headings like "Quit" and "Introduction". 2. Adding code to the "Quit" menu to exit the application. 3. Creating a new "Welcome" form displayed when "Example1" is selected from the menu, along with code to link the two. 4. Additional forms and examples can then be added and linked together through the menu structure.
