- The problem here is that you have to do menu_bar before the menu is drawn
- on the screen (at startup), and it is not documented whether the AES does
- make a copy of the menu tree or not (in all existing versions there is no
- such thing, at least on the ST), but a networking AES will probably do so,
- so before you would then see the changed menu, you would have to do a
- menu_bar again, so use the documented way with menu_icheck.
