Submenus
The following example illustrates the use of a submenu to amplify the Help activate section of the previous example:
## activate menuitem "Help"
## {
##   submenu
##   activate menuitem "Application"
##   {
         provide help about current application
##   }
##   activate menuitem "Form"
##   {
         provide help about current form
##   }
##   activate menuitem "MenuOperations"
##   {
         provide help about current menu operations
##   }
## }
When the user selects the Help menu operation, this submenu replaces the current menu line:
Application Form MenuOperations
When the user selects one of the submenu operations, the statements in its activate section are executed. The original menu line then returns.
