<p>Updated: March 31, 2006 for release 0.8.2</p>

<p>The Menu classes are defined in menu.py. Menus for an app are defined in the
resource file, but they are optional. The worldclock sample shows an app
without a menubar.</p>

<p>There is no support for hierarchical menus, graphics or multiple fonts in a
menu. You can enable/disable and check/uncheck menu items. In addition, menu
items can have an associated command which can then be bound to any number
of other menu items or components. See the textIndexer and addresses samples.
The simplest way to understand the use of the menus is to look at all the
samples resource files and code. When a menu item is selected it generates a
'select' event.</p>
