Create a graphic file with the four title screens on it (not four
separate jpgs). Drag that one graphic into the Menu box (the one
labelled with the "1"). You might also want to make sure in "Project
Settings" that the graphics are rendered as NTSC (the default is PAL) if
you're playing it on a player that isn't set up to deal well with
switching between PAL and NTSC.
