MenuHandleEvent() does things like display the menu when the user taps
the menu icon and displaying different menus when the user taps a menu
title and then when the user picks a menu item, MenuHandleEvent() adds
the event to the queue that you eventually see when a menu item is selected.
So unless you want to do all that yourself (good grief!) you call
MenuHandleEvent()
to do it for you!
