Layout with two or three menu positions

Hi all.
I have to design a new website in wich I have one central column for content, two columns (left and right) for vertical menu items, and footer for a horizontal menu.
Well, into left I have to show some levels and their sub-items (by using default installation: "Home", "Content" and "Navigation"); another level and its elements (for example "Templates") into right. Finally, I want to show the last menu level and its items ("Extensions") into footer.
Then, the question is: how can I do this? I guess I'd use MenuManager... if yes, how do I have to set menu options?
Thank you for your help, guys.

Actually the MenuManager module is well documented, you will find help in your admin-section at

http://www.yoururlgoeshere.com/admin/listmodules.php?action=showmodulehelp&module=MenuManager

But to answer your question:

{cms_module module='menumanager' start_level="4"}

That would then display all menu-entries starting at a depth of 4 (which in your case would represent the footer-menu). You could also define how many levels to show (number_of_levels="2" --> shows 2 levels from starting point) or where to start (start_page='mystartpagehere'). You can also hide elements (collapse='1') or show them (collapse='0') ...

Hope that helps.
