A .cue file is just a text file that references a disc image (usually of .bin extension) or an audio track (.wav or .mp3) and has information on track markers and CD TEXT and nice things like that.
I've made .cue files two ways, both which are fairly time-consuming and inefficient. (perhaps someone can post a better and faster solution =)
1. Using an existing audio cue file as reference, basically copy the structure and update the artist/track/time information to reflect your own audio. Time values are found by trial and error, and verified by listening with a media player that supports .cue files (player of choice: foobar2000). Times can also be found by listening (and seeing the waveform) in your wave editor.
2. In the wave editor, listen and split the audio into different tracks. In your favorite CD burning program (prog. of choice: Nero Burning ROM 6), create an audio CD and add tracks in order. Change gap times from tracks 2->num(tracks) to 0 (defaults to 2, most of the time). Burn CD.
Although this doesn't create a .cue file, you could probably glean the track times or stuff from the program, or use some program to create a cue file from the CD. Of course, that kind of defeats the purpose...
On the topic of burning .cue'd mp3s to CD (eg. preserving the track information), I use a program called Burrrn. I'm sure if you google it, there will be more information about it. Took me a while to find a program that would burn audio .cues.
