I used this last week (in skin.tmpl), thanks to the change in the latest 
PmWiki release:

  <!--PageActionFmt-->
  <!--markup:
  (:if auth edit:)
  (:div2 id=wikicmds:)
  (:include {$Group}.PageActions {$SiteGroup}.PageActions:)
  (:div2end:)--><!--/PageActionFmt-->

In the case where there is no obvious place for a menu bar, then I put 
one across the top that's only visible to those with appropriate privs.. 
Something like:

  <body>
  <div id="container">
  <!--PageActionFmt-->
  <!--markup:
  (:if auth edit:)
  (:div1 id=menubar:)
  (:div2 id=wikicmds:)
  (:include {$Group}.PageActions {$SiteGroup}.PageActions:)
  (:div2end:)
  (:div1end:)--><!--/PageActionFmt-->
  <!--PageHeaderFmt-->
