Tone,

Well, I don't think that's exactly true, because tooltips *don't* usually
show up in a status bar (a text bar at the bottom of a window), but rather
somewhere "near" the mouse cursor when it stayed over a control for some
length of time.  (I guess there *might* be some "style"*(?) settings for
tooltip hints which *could* make them show up in the status bar, but that's
not how I've seen them usually used.)

But I suspect you're right about tooltip hints not being able to be made for
menu items because there's already text there.  I just wanted to be able to
*expand* upon the meaning of the existing text with a tooltip hint for any
new users of my program.
