/**
 * All items in a menu must belong to the class
 * <code>MenuItem</code>, or one of its subclasses.
 * <p>
 * The default <code>MenuItem</code> object embodies
 * a simple labeled menu item.
 * <p>
 * This picture of a menu bar shows five menu items:
 * <IMG SRC="doc-files/MenuBar-1.gif" alt="The following text describes this graphic."
 * ALIGN=CENTER HSPACE=10 VSPACE=7>
 * <br CLEAR=LEFT>
 * The first two items are simple menu items, labeled
 * <code>"Basic"</code> and <code>"Simple"</code>.
 * Following these two items is a separator, which is itself
 * a menu item, created with the label <code>"-"</code>.
 * Next is an instance of <code>CheckboxMenuItem</code>
 * labeled <code>"Check"</code>. The final menu item is a
 * submenu labeled <code>"More&nbsp;Examples"</code>,
 * and this submenu is an instance of <code>Menu</code>.
 * <p>
 * When a menu item is selected, AWT sends an action event to
 * the menu item. Since the event is an
 * instance of <code>ActionEvent</code>, the <code>processEvent</code>
 * method examines the event and passes it along to
 * <code>processActionEvent</code>. The latter method redirects the
 * event to any <code>ActionListener</code> objects that have
 * registered an interest in action events generated by this
 * menu item.
 * <P>
 * Note that the subclass <code>Menu</code> overrides this behavior and
 * does not send any event to the frame until one of its subitems is
 * selected.
