WinSetMenuItemText() is a convenience macro for sending the MM_SETITEMTEXT
message to the menu which contains the item you want to change.

To query the item's text, send the MM_QUERYITEMTEXT message.  Unfortunately,
there is no convenience macro for the query operation.

The documentation for these two messages can be found in the online PM
reference under "Message Processing : Menu Control Window : Menu Control
Window Messages."

The function referred to, "WinQuerySetMenuItemText()" appears to be a typo
in the WinSetMenuItemText() example code in the online reference.  It certainly
violates the otherwise consistent Query/Set function and message naming
schemes.
