Kiki,

I just uploaded a module I made for another project (and never remembered
to give to Guido).

The URL is ftp://starship.python.net/pub/crew/arcege/modules/MenuEntry.py.

In that module, you get five usable classes (and one super class):
MenuCascade, MenuCommand, MenuCheckbutton, MenuRadiobutton, MenuSeparator.

You get the following methods:
  item.activate()
  item.cget(option)
  item.configure([cnf={...},] [key=value,]...)
  item.config  - same as configure
  item.invoke()
  item.yposition()

These map to methods in the Menu class, but the MenuEntry object knows
which index it is.
