Those toolbars are built in to the ListView webpart that is on the page. To use
it you either need to add a similar ListView web part to the page  and configure
it to show the toolbar  (you can do this from the Insert menu in SharePoint
Designer) or you need to create a custom  web part and programmatically add a
similar toolbar to it. Here's a BLOG entry on how to add a toolbar to a custom
web part.

I think I have made things overly complex for myself -- I noticed
that after creating  the custom  list and opening SharePoint designer
that there are forms created under the Custom list  that I have
created.

What I am really trying to get at is that I want a site user to be
taken DIRECTLY to the Add New List Item page  when they click on
the "Contact Us" Quick Launch menu item. I think I have found a way
to do that via cutting and pasting the NewItem URL into the Quick
launch bar, but when the user SAVES the comment they are taken back
to the AllItems.aspx page.

I do not want users to see the Contact Us list - I only want the sys
admins to see the list of submitted items.

Is there a way to do this - or a way to modify the NewItem page to
NOT go to the AllItems page after the user saves an entry?

Try adding "&source=" plus the URL of the page  you want them to be
directed to when they have created the item, at the end of the link
to the newitem.aspx form.

This works in most situations. It fails in some cases, e.g. where
you have a multi-page survey.
